* Active Worlds, a 3D virtual reality platform

In some cyberpunk writing, much of the action takes place online, in cyberspace, blurring the border between actual and virtual reality.

Charles presented the virtual reality game show Cyberzone ( 1993 ) on BBC2 ; the late-night entertainment show Funky Bunker ( 1997 ) on ITV ; the reality television show Jailbreak ( 2000 ) on Channel 5 ; and the late-night chat show Weapons of Mass Distraction ( 2004 ) on ITV.

They are really virtual files that exist, in reality, as objects within the operating system kernel.

Although the present-day, loose use of the term " cyberspace " no longer implies or suggests immersion in a virtual reality, current technology allows the integration of a number of capabilities ( sensors, signals, connections, transmissions, processors, and controllers ) sufficient to generate a virtual interactive experience that is accessible regardless of a geographic location.

Games do not have to stop at the avatar-player level, but current implementations aiming for more immersive playing space ( i. e. Laser tag ) take the form of augmented reality rather than cyberspace, fully immersive virtual realities remaining impractical.

Some contemporary philosophers and scientists ( e. g. David Deutsch in The Fabric of Reality ) employ virtual reality in various thought experiments.

Although artists working with other media have expressed interest in the concept, such as Roy Ascott, " cyberspace " in digital art is mostly used as a synonym for immersive virtual reality and remains more discussed than enacted.

* The idea of " the matrix " in the film The Matrix resembles a complex form of cyberspace where people are " jacked in " from birth and do not know that the reality they experience is virtual.

He is not aware of all of his powers at the start of the show ; for instance, his heat vision and super breath do not develop until seasons two and six, respectively, and his power of flight did not emerge until the series finale, up until that point the power appeared only in a few rare cases, such as when he was temporarily're-programmed ' to assume a Kryptonian persona or when he was trapped in a virtual reality.

** Massively multiplayer online games and virtual reality communities.

A recent study that used virtual reality technology to study reported deja vu experiences supported this idea.

This virtual reality investigation suggested that similarity between a new scene's spatial layout and the layout of a previously experienced scene in memory ( but which fails to be recalled ) may contribute to the deja vu experience.

DARPA also funded the development of the Douglas Engelbart's NLS computer system and The Mother of All Demos ; and the Aspen Movie Map, which was probably the first hypermedia system and an important precursor of virtual reality.

Immersive virtual musical instruments, or immersive virtual instruments for music and sound aim to represent musical events and sound parameters in a virtual reality so that they can be perceived not only through auditory feedback but also visually in 3D and possibly through tactile as well as haptic feedback, allowing the development of novel interaction metaphors beyond manipulation such as prehension.

The highly successful BattleTech line led to a series of video games, some of the first virtual reality gaming suites, called Virtual World ( created by a subdivision of the company known at the time of development as ESP, an acronym for " Extremely Secret Project ") and a Saturday-morning animated TV series.

They were particularly interested in virtual reality ( particularly the BattleTech Centers / Virtual World ) but also developed desktop computer games.

In reality Lamartine was the virtual head of government in 1848.

Doom prompted fears that the then-emerging virtual reality technology could be used to simulate extremely realistic killing, and in 1994 led to unsuccessful attempts by Washington state senator Phil Talmadge to introduce compulsory licensing of VR use.

The MS-20ic controller includes patch cables that can be used to control signal routing in their virtual reproduction of the MS-20 synthesizer, and can also control third-party devices.

The basic format of a SONET / SDH signal allows it to carry many different services in its virtual container ( VC ), because it is bandwidth-flexible.

The packet layer includes mechanisms to maintain virtual calls and to signal data errors in the event that the data link layer cannot recover from data transmission errors.

Given a fixed physical relationship in space between the different individual microphone transducer array elements, simultaneous DSP ( digital signal processor ) processing of the signals from each of the individual microphone array elements can create one or more " virtual " microphones.

The station broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 27 ( virtual channel 4. 1 via PSIP ) from a transmitter near Bosque Estatal de Carite.

The station's signal is relayed throughout Puerto Rico through two full-power satellite stations: WTIN-TV ( UHF digital channel 15, virtual channel 14. 1 ) in Ponce and WNJX-TV ( UHF digital channel 23, virtual channel 22. 1 ) in Mayagüez.

It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 47 ( virtual channel 11. 1 via PSIP ) from a transmitter atop the Willis Tower.

It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 19 ( virtual channel 9. 1 via PSIP ) from a transmitter atop the Willis Tower.

) to a " virtual " signal, in order to encode and decode inbound or outbound data.

Its computer facilities include standard UNIX and PC labs as well as specialized labs in robotics, networks, virtual reality and digital signal processing.

* Pulverizer: A multi-purpose piece of virtual hardware that combines compression, distortion, filters, tremolo, parallel signal processing and an envelope follower.

Starting on or about November 18, 2011 WWJT began broadcasting a digital signal on virtual channel 7 showing just the call letters and its three sub channels displaying a color test pattern.

It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 ( or virtual channel 3. 1 via PSIP ) from a transmitter near Essa Road / Highway 27 in the southwestern part of Barrie ( which also houses a camera that overlooks the city of Barrie, Lake Simcoe, and its environs ; a live feed from this camera is available on the station's website ).

It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 44 ( or virtual channel 57. 1 via PSIP ) from a transmitter located atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto.

As digital audio software is complex and can play any number of functions in the audio chain, control surfaces can be used to control many aspects of music production, including virtual instruments, samplers, signal processors, mixers, console automation, DJ software, and sequencer applications.
