can additionally be moved over their traversed pathlines to explore their behavior in time. Dynamic features in the data are explored by interactively seeding and tracking particles through time in both a standard display screen and a stereoscopic virtual environment. Further‚ we have validated our particle system by comparing its particle trajectories with those generated by a Large-eddy Simulation.

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.

In The Matrix Morpheus reveals to Neo that the life he had previously accepted as an absolute reality is really a virtual reality that is manipulated by a computer which is essentially controlling the mind of every individual as they lie unconscious connected to this computer system. After taking the “red pill” that allows Neo to uncover the truth‚ he is no longer blinded by this virtual reality. While one may assume Neo would be grateful to be free of this kind of deception‚ he alternatively experiences

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
