Low Cost Virtual Reality and its Application to Chemical Engineering - Part One
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual reality, ( VR ), is an important emerging technology in computer visualization. While the concept of virtual reality has been around since the early 1960s, until recently the capabilities of VR have been limited, and only available to those institutions with large computing budgets. Recent developments have greatly increased the capabilities of this technology and have brought the price to within the range of the average researcher and even home hobbyist. This paper will provide a brief overview of this rapidly growing field, with emphasis on entry-level implementations, and will finish with a discussion of how it can be and is being applied to chemical engineering.

Using a Virtual Reality Environment to Simulate the Pushing of Cylindrical Nanoparticles
With the rise in the use of AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), we have witnessed a growing use of atomic microscope based nanorobots in the precise displacement of various particles. There are certain limitations to the application of nanorobots in the moving of nanoparticles. One of the most important of these limitations is the lack of an appropriate image feedback concurrent with the displaci...
