AI Thread Summary
To build a virtual reality machine, aspiring electrical engineers should focus on areas such as displays, robotics, and ergonomics or biomechanics. These fields provide essential skills and knowledge for developing immersive technologies. Gaining hands-on experience in these areas will be crucial for success in the VR industry. Specializing in these topics can enhance understanding of both hardware and user interaction. Pursuing electrical engineering with this focus will help achieve the goal of creating a personal VR machine.

Do you mean of or on? That is a huge difference.

Welcome to the PF.

You should get good experience with displays, robotics, and maybe some kind of ergonomics or biomechanics, I would think.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
