Abstract
Computing technology is advancing at an unprecedented speed, reshaping both our daily lives and the global landscape. In this article, we delve into the profound impact of immersive technology on society, focusing on how it can represent and interact with users. Starting from the current virtual reality (VR) technology, we envision that VR will integrate with artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technologies, and eventually achieve a personal clone of individual users that can perform most of the tasks on behalf of users. By roughly dividing the progression of immersive technologies into three phases, we discuss their prospective applications while emphasizing the potential research challenges to be addressed.
期刊介绍:
This magazine provides a journal-quality evaluation and review of Internet-based computer applications and enabling technologies. It also provides a source of information as well as a forum for both users and developers. The focus of the magazine is on Internet services using WWW, agents, and similar technologies. This does not include traditional software concerns such as object-oriented or structured programming, or Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) or Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) standards. The magazine may, however, treat the intersection of these software technologies with the Web or agents. For instance, the linking of ORBs and Web servers or the conversion of KQML messages to object requests are relevant technologies for this magazine. An article strictly about CORBA would not be. This magazine is not focused on intelligent systems. Techniques for encoding knowledge or breakthroughs in neural net technologies are outside its scope, as would be an article on the efficacy of a particular expert system. Internet Computing focuses on technologies and applications that allow practitioners to leverage off services to be found on the Internet.
