When this goal is achieved we will be able to create an environment‚ which we call synthetic reality‚ in which a user can interact with computer generated artifacts as if they were the real thing. Synthetic reality has significant advantages over virtual reality or augmented reality. For example‚ there is no need for the user to use any form of sensory augmentation‚ e.g.‚ head mounted displays or haptic feedback devices will be able to see‚ touch‚ pick-up‚ or even use the rendered artifacts.

Windows NT vs Unix As An Operating System In the late 1960s a combined project between researchers at MIT‚ Bell Labs and General Electric led to the design of a third generation of computer operating system known as MULTICS (MULTiplexed Information and Computing Service). It was envisaged as a computer utility‚ a machine that would support hundreds of simultaneous timesharing users. They envisaged one huge machine providing computing power for everyone in Boston. The idea that machines as powerful

The development of distance education has resulted from so-called push and pull factors: the technological advances created user demand‚ while extensive usage of technologies led to further development in technology. (Lewis et al‚ 1999). One can distinguish between four generations of distance education technologies. The timeframe of the first generation is from 1850s to1960 and the technologies employed are print (correspondence classes)‚ radio and instructional television. The second generation

(Note: For ease of calculation‚ you can assume 1K=1000‚ 1M=1000K‚ etc.) (a) (3 pts) How many physical frames are there in the system? Ans: 128M = 32K 4K (b) (3 pts) What is the maximum number of pages that a process can have in its virtual address space? Ans: The amount of virtual address space addressable by each process = 232 = 4GB
