Strategic Technology Plan

In the past, virtual reality technology was thought of by many as a gimmick, and the hope for it to become a mainstream technology was discarded as products did not work as how the public envisioned. However, the proper technology is now available to make virtual reality just that: a reality. The entertainment industry is on the verge of a monumental paradigm shift that will completely transform the way these entertainment mediums are experienced.

Comcast is the leading cable telecommunications and Entertainment Company in the industry. Their strengths lie in their products and the will to explore and improve with their services. They always continue to provide customers with new and improved services and continue to build on existing services. Comcast is the fourth largest cable company in the world and served customers in 39 states with over 24.7 million cable customers. (Comcast, 2008). The chart below shows the amount of subscribers in the country:

Strategic planning can dictate the success of any organization if properly planned as well as the failure of an organization if not implemented as planned. Strategic planning is all about making choices. It is a process designed to support leaders in being intentional about their goals and methods. Simply stated, strategic planning is a management tool, and like any management tool, it is used for one purpose only—to help an organization do a better job. This portion of the strategic plan will explain why an

The Office of Information Technology is responsible for the overall technical support for the Division of Medicaid. There are numerous technical projects that the Division undertakes that require procurements, and various vendors. Currently, there is no means for tracking the projects and procurements necessary to complete these projects.

4. Employees that are promoted diversely to avoid discrimination to the full extent of culture, ethnic background, gender and religion.

* A virtual world that appears real to any observer, seen through an HMD and augmented through three-dimensional sound and tactile stimuli

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are taking over our era, with new innovations using the technology being released everyday.  Both have had a sizable play in companies performances, and have shaped and developed society from the beginning of their release. AR and VR technology take aspects of the real-world and apply it to technology in a three dimensional form, just in different ways. Despite common misconceptions, these two ideas are not the same. VR is all screen-generated work, only including technological elements in its world that may resemble real-life items. AR, on the other hand, applies these elements to real-life items, portraying an image onto an object you physically have in front of you.

This business plan has been primarily prepared in order to find out the feasibility in the implementation of state-of-art computer technology and revolutionary computer product. The other plan like marketing plan, operational plan and financial plan are drawn keeping in mind real scenario of the business and current market.

In terms of specific applications VR can be usefully applied when building homes for disabled people. For example, those whose movements are restricted solely to a wheelchair may require larger hallway space for maneuverability and lower bench heights in the kitchen. These can easily be rectified before the house is built. Thus minimising on post-production changes which may be costly. I3 (Interactive Information Institute) is the RMIT VR 'showpiece'. It features a 150 degree wide screen which occupies the entire field of vision of the viewer. Instead of mounting a head display unit the environment is shared. I3 feature an architectural 'fly-through' of the Docklands planned area for development. This allows the user to view buildings from a multitude of different angles, and ascertain an improved idea of the finished product.

VR is more than an upgraded version of Cinerama or a theme park ride, as it achieves not only a greater sense of presence, but through the use of computer technology, the capacity to direct one’s gaze and movements so that one can explore and move around inside the illusory flow of images [3]. The main imperfection in simulation at present comes from the difficulties inherent in presenting a sufficiently convincing computer generated image. Presenting a convincing visual input to a human being requires a computer which can handle a vast amount of information. This is both difficult and expensive with existing technology.

Virtual reality defined as to produce and create the effect of an interactive 3D world in which the objects have a sense of spatial presence by using computer technologies. Our perceptual and cognitive system will be presented by precise clues in order for our brain to interpret and understand those clues as outside object in 3D world. In addition, virtual reality suggest a lot of benefits and advantages to education of technical such as delivery information through multiple active channels, addressing of dissimilar learning styles, experiential-based learning and so on ( Bell & Fogler, 2004, p 217).

Seeing is believing, these words are the best combination to understand the meaning of Virtual Reality (VR). VR is one of the best asset and aspect of our future. No other technology has seen such a revolution like VR has. It is practically in use in almost every field such as entertainment, gaming, defense, robotics, medical, healthcare, military, education, fashion, heritage, business, engineering and many more fields. VR sometimes called Virtual Environment has drawn much attention in the last two decade. Extensive media coverage causes the much more rapid increase in the interest of the masses. Very few people, however, really know what VR is and what are its open problems are. In this report a historical overview of virtual reality is presented, basic terminology as an introduction are listed, followed by applications of this technology in science, work, and entertainment areas. Its present developments are thoroughly discussed in this report. Finally, the future of VR is considered in two aspects: technological and social. New research directions, technological frontiers and potential applications are pointed out. The possible positive and negative influence of VR on life of average people is speculated.

E3D Café (Edified 3D Café) unlike an archetypal cafe, will bestow a distinctive convention for communication and entertainment through the medium of 3D printing and student collaboration. E3D Café will be the answer to the increasing demand for innovations within the university and across various faculties and departments.
