Abstract :
Wearable computing and ubiquitous computing are the latest solutions in mobile virtual reality. These technologies together with wireless data transmission enable both augmented reality and multimedia in mobile environments. Wearable and ubiquitous computing are energetically finding their position in the future information society. This paper describes the main requirements of modern mobile VR systems and also highlights the problems of the present systems. The approach is to focus on state-of-the-art mobile VR by describing three implementation cases from Finnish industry as examples of how to use these novel concepts as building blocks for a new economy. Future expectations and development in the field are discussed
