surround sound, interactive user-input and other factors such as simplicity,
functionality and potential for enjoyment. New technologies are currently under
development which claim to bring realistic environmental effects to the players'
environment - effects like wind, seat vibration and ambient lighting.

Immersive Multimedia

These terms refer to computer-generated simulation of reality with physical, spatial and visual dimensions. This interactive technology is used by architects, science and engineering researchers, and the arts, entertainment and video games industry.

Virtual reality systems can simulate everything from a walk-through of a building prior to construction to simulations of aircraft flight and three dimensional computer games.

Immersive technologies and virtual reality are powerful and compelling computer applications by which humans can interface and interact with computer generated environments in a way that mimics real life sense engagement.

Although mostly known for its application in the entertainment industry the real promise lies in such fields as medicine, science, engineering, oil exploration, data visualization and the military to name just a few.

As 3D and immersive technology becomes more integrated and available for a wide range of applications. It l requires well-designed user interfaces and innovative content for the next generation of computer games and integrated technology like mobile devices, distributed web systems and desktop applications.

Multimedia Immersif

Istilah ini merujuk kepada simulasi janaan komputer yang menghasilkan realiti dengan fizikal, dimensi ruang dan visual. Teknologi interaktif ini digunakan oleh arkitek-arkitek, para pengkaji sains dan kejuruteraan, kesenian, hiburan dan industri permainan video .

Sistem realiti maya dapat menghasilkan simulasi daripada berjalan menembusi sesebuah bangunan sebelum pembinaan hinggalah simulasi-simulasi bagi penerbangan pesawat dan permainan komputer trimatra (3 dimensi - 3D)

Teknologi immersif dan realiti maya amat berkuasa di mana manusia boleh berinteraksi dengan komputer melalui antaramuka dalam menghasilkan persekitaran yang melibatkan peniruan cara kehidupan sebenar.

Walaupun aplikasinya diketahui lebih menjurus dalam industri hiburan, keupayaan sebenarnya terletak dalam bidang-bidang perubatan, sains, kejuruteraan, penerokaan dan carigali minyak, pemaparan data dan untuk kegunaan ketenteraan.

Teknologi 3D dan teknologi immersif menjadi semakin bersepadu dan boleh didapati untuk berbagai jenis penggunaan. Ia memerlukan rekabentuk antaramuka yang baik serta kandungan yang inovatif dalam penghasilan permainan komputer generasi akan datang dan penggunaan teknologi bersepadu seperti dalam alat-alat mudah-alih, sistem-sistem agihan jaringan dan aplikasi-aplikasi komputer meja.
