The embodied self: Using virtual reality to study the foundations of bodily self-consciousness
A group of neuroscientists and a philosopher have devised a series of novel experiments using virtual reality that could shed light on decades of clinical data pointing to cognitive and perceptual mechanisms involved in humans' concept of self. view more (2007-08-24)
Getting the feel of virtual reality
A giant leap forward in the realism of virtual reality (VR) may be just around the corner as a team of European researchers near the completion of a pioneering project to add textures, lighting effects and 'feel' to computer-generated 3D models. view more (2005-04-27)
A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a microscope. The results are high-resolution digital... view more... (2004-11-26)
An added dimension for virtual museums

'Virtual' colonoscopy considerably more expensive
Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center researchers have found that "virtual" colonoscopy using a computer tomography (CT) scanner is considerably more expensive than the traditional procedure due to the detection of suspicious images outside of the colon. view more (2006-10-25)
Sports ads on TV by virtual means: different ads for different audiences
An advert for a Finnish local pub at the starting grid of a motor race in Monte Carlo? Of course not: it’s only seen in Finland, virtually.
