Bangalore: Science fiction till now was a part of films, but with upcoming 3D technology, it will become as palpable as the reality that surrounds you. You can take a ride in to a human brain, universe or ocean and more, just by wearing 3D Glasses. Thanks to the Computer scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who are pushing science fiction closer to reality with a wraparound virtual world, reports TOI.

This technology is known as CAVE2, where a screen encircles the viewer 320 degrees. A panorama of images springs from 72 stereoscopic liquid crystal display panels, gives you a strong sense of being able to touch them.

Scientist in many fields are striving to truly understand overwhelming amount of data. Jason Leigh, co-inventor of the CAVE2 virtual reality system, believes this technology answers that challenge.

"In the next five years, we anticipate using the CAVE to look at really large-scale data to help scientists make sense of that information. CAVEs are essentially fantastic lenses for bringing data into focus," Leigh said.
