This definition is used at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory in Chicago (EVL[1]). In other words, virtual reality[2] means that the user is surrounded by a computer-generated image that changes depending on the movements—i.e.shifts in perspective—of the user. 虚拟现实的定义之一：虚拟现实是对由计算机生成的、能够实时追踪用户的多感官信息的一种笼统表述。芝加哥电子可视化实验室（EVL）采用的就是这种定义。换句话说，虚拟现实意味着用户被计算机生成的图景所包围，这些图景要依据用户的运动（如视角的转换）而产生变化。; The concept of a room with graphics projected from behind the walls was invented at EVL in 1992. The images on the walls are usually in stereo to give a depth cue. The main advantage over ordinary graphics systems is that the users are surrounded by the projected images, which means that the images are the users’main field of vision. This is usually called a “CAVE”,CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment. The first CAVE(as well as the concept) was created by the faculty, staff, and students at EVL. 具有墙后投影生成图像的房间的概念是1992年在EVL发明的。墙上的图景通常是立体的以便能表现出深度。与普通的图形系统相比，它的主要优势在于用户被投影图像所包围，这意味着这些图景是用户的主要视野。它通常被称为CAVE，即洞穴式自动虚拟环境。第一台CAVE（与其概念）是由EVL的全体教职员和同学共同创造的 ; New Words Expressions: interactive 交互的 intranet n. 企业???部互联网 integrate 使成整体，结合 visualization n. 可视化 presentation n. 演示 virtual adj. 虚拟的 criteria 准则 authorability n, 创作性 compose 组成，写作，排字 re-usability
