<p>A viewing apparatus (50) comprises a visual display (104) transmitting image data to a user and rotatably coupled, in three dimensions, to a boom (102) supporting the visual display (104). The operator inserts his head into the visual display (104) and grasps the control grips (144) with both hands to interact in three dimensions with a virtual world and with virtual objects in the virtual world via graphics displayed to each eye. The visual display (104) is equipped with sensing devices for sensing both location and directional coordinates in three dimensions relative to the user and the virtual world and objects. The visual display (104) houses two LCD displays which direct separate images to the user's eyes so that the images are perceived stereoscopically and speakers positioned forward of the user's ears (115, 117) and the speakers positioned rearward of the user's ears (116, 118) so that sound can be perceived to originate from a particular direction or object.</p> |
