The simplest explanation is that 3D interaction is just plane hard (Herndon, et. al. 1994). Another explanation is that...

We present the RhoVeR (Rhodes Virtual Reality) system and classify it as a second generation Parallel/Distributed Virtual Reality (DVR) system. We discuss the components of the system and thereby demonstrate its support for Virtual Reality application development, its conngurable, parallel and distributed nature, and its synthesis of rst generation DVR techniques.

Augmented Reality (AR) is a visualization technique in which computer generated graphics are superimposed over one's view of the real world. This paper reports results of recent studies in which navigation data was superimposed into a ship pilot's field of view, including a system recently instaIIed on the US military s High Speed Catamaran Joint Venture (HSV-Xl).
