Greetings IFETS Campus,

During the twentieth century, the production of illusionistic
representations became the domain of the media technologies of mass
culture: photography, film, and video. Today, these machines are
everywhere (pervasive) being replaced by digital illusion generators:
computers. Now to some interesting questions..below..

How is the realism of a synthetic image different from the realism of
optical media? Is digital technology in the process of redefining the
standards of realism determined by our experience with photography and
film? Do computer games, motion simulators, and VR represent a new kind of
realism, one that relies not only visual illusion but also on the
multisensory bodily engagement of the user? How to define the visual
digital realism in Virtual worlds? and What are the characteristics of
that definition?

By Virtual worlds, it is mean..the 3-D computer-generated interactive
environments accessible to one or more users simulatenously.

Any thoughts??
Sincerely
Arun Tripathi
