Virtual reality (VR) has been an area of research for over 40 years yet only recently has it begun to achieve public acceptance. One key to this has been the development of "cinematic virtual reality" (CVR) where media fidelity approaches that found in feature film. Unlike traditional VR, CVR limits the level of control users have within the environment to choosing viewpoints rather than interacting with the world itself. This means that CVR production arguably represents a new type of filmmaking. 2, record 1, English, - cinematic%20virtual%20reality

Cinematic virtual reality(cinematic VR) is one of the emerging mediums alongside virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR) with the production of more advanced head mounted displays(HMD) headsets and 360 cameras. It can be argued that cinematic VR and VR are the same medium, both utilising virtual environments(VEs) and HMD headsets with the major differences being primarily in interactivity. Cinematic VR draws heavily from the film industry while VR draws from the games industry. 3, record 1, English, - cinematic%20virtual%20reality

In the toe hang, participants position themselves on the floor on their back. Two people stand above each participant holding a smooth pole horizontally across them. The participants hang their feet over the pole using their instep to do so. They place their hands behind their thighs/knees, pulling their knees onto their chest, theoretically raising their entire body from the floor, thereby suspending themselves in the air "hanging from their toes." The pole people adjust the height according to the participants’ wishes. 2, record 2, English, - toe%20hang
