The value chain ... is a concept from business management that was first described and popularized by Michael Porter in his 1985 best-seller, Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance. The value chain in its original sense was defined as a sequence of value-enhancing activities. In its simplest form, raw materials are formed into components, which are assembled into final products, distributed, sold, and serviced. In other words, the chain consists of a series of activities that create and build value. 2, record 1, English, - value%20chain

Primary activities are directly concerned with the creation or delivery of a product or service. They can be grouped into five main areas: inbound logistics, operations (production), outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and services. Each of these primary activities is linked to support activities which help to improve their effectiveness or efficiency. There are four main areas of support activities: procurement, technology development, human resource management, and infrastructure. 2, record 1, English, - value%20chain

Computer-generated artificial worlds. Term invented by Myron Krueger before 1989 when his book "Artificial Reality" was published. This vision was that the very walls around us can be made aware of human behavior and can learn how to respond to us. To the extent that a "media room" rather than "reality gloves and goggles" is a strong vision for the future of VR (virtual reality), Myron Krueger must be credited for his early work on "artificial reality". 2, record 2, English, - artificial%20reality

Fujitsu décompose la réalité artificielle selon trois niveaux: périphérique, système, art et application. Le DataGlove, l'Eyephone, le Data Suit et tout autre dispositif d'entrée se situent au niveau périphérique. Les technologies de poursuite oculaire et de sensations tactiles sans gants seront également intégrées à ce niveau. Les systèmes matériels qui connectent l'utilisateur à la machine sont contrôlés et médiatisés par le système applicatif qui [...] comportera images de synthèse, reconnaissance gestuelle et vocale et fonctionnalité de modélisation par l'utilisateur. Ce niveau plus élevé se scinde en deux parties, la première réunissant les applicatifs permettant le télécontrôle des outils, les systèmes de communication, et la formation des utilisateurs; la deuxième, le niveau "artistique", les théâtres artificiels et ceux "à la première personne" - les feuilletons et les films d'aventure dans lesquels l'utilisateur peut entrer et auxquels il peut participer - est apparemment celle qui mobilise le plus la recherche en RV de Fujitsu. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9alit%C3%A9%20artificielle
