L'ordinateur et le logiciel spécifique constituent à eux deux ce que l'on appelle, dans le jargon de la RV, les «moteurs de réalité». Lorsqu'un cybernaute détourne le regard ou remue la main, le moteur de réalité met en place tout le décor d'une simulation en relief par un savant mélange des flux de données émanant de ses capteurs avec des représentations actualisées en permanence du monde virtuel. 3, record 3, French, - moteur%20de%20r%C3%A9alit%C3%A9%20virtuelle

In facsimile, the diode sensor array uses a stationary configuration of tiny photodiodes arranged in a matrix that equals in width one lateral scan line of a document. An original is rollerfed from a flatbed tray and passes by the sensor array one line at a time. Light is reflected from each line and focused through a lens onto the face of the photodiode array. Each diode acts as an independent photosensor in converting a small picture element into part of the total electrical signal for a scan line. 1, record 4, English, - photodiode%20sensor%20array%20scanner
