“…Each of these reviews discusses and outlines the status of virtual reality from a specific perspective. In Zhou and Deng (2009), for example, the authors presented the evolution of the definitions of virtual reality based on technology and immersion. They also outlined a brief history of the virtual reality technology.…”

One of the main goals of virtual reality is to provide immersive environments that take participants away from the real life into a virtual one. Many investigators have been interested in bringing new technologies, devices, and applications to facilitate this goal. Few, however, have focused on the specific human-computer interaction aspects of such environments. In this article we present our literature review of virtual reality and the Cave Automated Virtual Environment (CAVE). In particular, the article begins by providing a brief overview of the evolution of virtual reality. In addition, key elements of a virtual reality system are presented along with a proposed taxonomy that categorizes such systems from the perspective of technologies used and the mental immersion level found in these systems. Moreover, a detailed overview of the CAVE is presented in terms of its characteristics, uses, and mainly, the interaction styles inside it. Insights of the interaction challenges and research directions of investigating interaction with virtual reality systems in general and the CAVE in particular are thoroughly discussed as well. ª 2015 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.

“…In Zhou and Deng (2009), the authors had other perspective of looking at the virtual reality from the degree of immersion, or degree of flow. If there is no immersion, then the imaginary world constructed in their minds is considered a virtual world.…”

“…VR has been around for decades and used extensively for training purposes (e.g., for pilots), to reproduce environments for a variety of educational or entertainment purposes (e.g., museums), or for engineering and design purposes (e.g., designing planes). However, it has only become affordable and useful for clinical psychologists in the last few years, mostly owing to decreases in equipment costs and the increasing possibility to use it on Windows-based computers (see [2] and [3] for details).…”

Could virtual reality be effective in treating children with phobias?

The use of virtual reality to treat anxiety disorders in adults is gaining popularity and its efficacy is supported by numerous outcome studies. Similar research for children is lagging behind. The outcome studies on the use of virtual reality to treat anxiety disorders in children currently address only specific phobias, and all of the available trials are reviewed in this article. Despite the limited number of studies, results are very encouraging for the treatment of school and spider phobias. A study with adolescents suggests that, at least for social anxiety, exposure stimuli would be more effective if they were developed specifically for younger populations. Virtual reality may not increase children's motivation towards therapy unless their fearful apprehension is addressed before initiating the treatment.

“…Virtual reality typically means 'near-reality', which is what we experience as Humans [1] [2]. It has been about 52 years since Ivan Sutherland formally presented the world his vision of "Ultimate Display" imitating the real world in every sense.…”

This paper provides an overview of the Virtual Reality with emphasis on current trends of hardware and software technology, the processing and application issues. The first section of the paper presents a background of Virtual reality followed by the description and classification of the technology and the way the processing of those technologies takes place. Based on the observations from the current practice, the technologies are overviewed with an attempt to focus on areas it has evolved to nurture and trend the way users are characterized by it, followed by challenges of implementing new technology approaches in creating Virtual reality system. Finally, summarizing with issues related to engaging Virtual reality and on the future enhancement and developments
