“Virtual reality promises a kind of transcendence of the limits of physical reality” (Biocca, Kim, Levy 06). “Virtual Reality” is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment in a seemingly real way by a person using special electronic equipment. When most people hear this they think of movies like “The Matrix”. They think films are the only place virtual reality is seen and used. However they are sorely mistaken in that aspect. Virtual reality is used in other fields and can

Robotic surgery is a relatively new and continuously evolving, minimal invasive surgery that is the type of surgery that requires the use of a surgical robot, which may or may not involve the direct role of a surgeon during the proposed surgical procedure. It combines traditional surgical methods with that of the robotic technology that has been around since 1985. The science behind the use and or need for a surgical robots help, was born from the necessity of needing a more precise tool over the

machine. For example, advanced studies showed that the tactile qualities of environmental structures are much more complex than visual. Robotic systems meant an important step to unravel the puzzles on the sense of touch, such as teleoperation and telepresence. These two were the main precursors for the revolution in the study of haptics [2]. A new bridge between man and computer is being created from the improvement of haptics

Computers are taking more and more jobs and this trend will accelerate as we approach technological singularity. This is the event “when computers will attain human-level intelligence” Natalie Wolchover states. The singularity is projected to arrive sometime around 2030 -2040, but it could occur sooner depending on how computer technology develops. Wolchover states: Physicist, author and self-described "futurist" Ray Kurzweil has predicted that computers will come to par with humans within two decades

In Tim O’Brien’s “Heroes,” an eloquent speech delivered when he received an accolade, he tells a story about a man named Elroy Birdall, the caretaker of some old yellow cabins along the Rainy River, who took care of him for six days in the summer of 1968, during the Vietnam War. As he gives his speech, he states that Elroy was a hero; more of a hero than the all-stars. Due to his elaboration, we can see that his message of heroism is that superior heroes are often unspoken, and he does this with

alternatives, such as using Lync. For a richer and more lifelike virtual meeting experience, Microsoft has also invested in Telepresence rooms in major business hubs such as Seattle, Reading, Beijing, and Hyderabad. These rooms can provide the feel of a face-to-face meeting without the cost and time lost due to travel. There is no cost to the business user to use Telepresence rooms. Since 2007, increased use of their collaboration products and operational control measures has helped reduce their

In this article, it finds that due to the rapid technological development in the past years, the cost of the technology has reduced considerably. As a result, the increasing more enterprises and individuals can apply the advanced technology, video conferencing in particular. It promoted not only timely information sharing but also strengthened the collaborative relationship. Overall, it has significantly improved their efficiency in their collaboration and cooperation. Therefore, it is possible for

HIPAA Security Rule and Privacy Rule The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a set of national standards created for the protection of health information; it is also known as a “Privacy Rule”. This rule was employed in 1996 by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to address the use and disclosure of an individual’s health information as well as the standards for the individual’s privacy rights to understand and control the manner in which their information
