Wide area ground Reference Station

WRS or Wide area ground Reference Station is the name of a ground station in the WAAS GPS sensor grid. These function in the exact same way as GPS satellites, providing a lower-altitude signal to use in conjunction with the satellites to work out the Z factor or height positional information.

WRS station signals suffer from terrain LOS issues such as mountains or dense urban areas blocking the signal. Therefore as many WRS stations as possible are utilised to provide data which is then sent to a WMS station prior to transmission back to the recipient.

Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

Mapping cyberspace

This book is an attempt to cross-reference the techniques of mapping and charting the physical world, with attempts to chart cyberspace. All of cyberspace, from individual virtual environments, through to the world wide web, as a single cohesive whole, a second world of many worlds, for others to explore, possessing the maps to do so.

OpenGL SuperBible: Comprehensive Tutorial and Reference ? 4th Edition

This is essentially the one-stop reference for OpenGL, the bible of the graphics programmer as it were. Covers everything up to OpenGL 2.1.

The Difference between FPS and Lag
Participants in modern internet-controlled, heavily graphics-orientated virtual worlds often confuse fps and lag. When an area cluttered with graphics, and a complex drawing area slows down, all too often people say that the area is laggy, or their Internet connection is not sufficient to handle it. This is patiently untrue, and continued perpetuation of this idea leads people to invest in hardware they do not need, which has no effect on the problem.

MUSH Reference Manual
This reference manual, designed for PennMUSH, but suitable for all MUSH codebases, provides an excellent grounding for familiarity with MUSHes. Note: File size is in excess of 130k.

Developing a Setting for Fantastical IF
This resource, intended for building IF worlds, still has many vital, and infrequently observed lessons for area builders within virtual worlds. A large area within a textual world, is about the same size as an average IF landscape, and many of the same rules still apply.

Local Area Augmentation Systems
A Local area Augmentation System is used to augment Global Positioning Systems when fine, precise detail is required. They could actually solve a lot more sensor web issues than just the use in aeronautics they have today.

Gamer Pays $100,000 Us For A Virtual Resort

October 2005, and Project Entropia hits the headlines forthe second time in a row, this time for $100,000 us paid for a VR-only space station, further demonstrating the potential for money making in modern virtual landscapes by the very fact it was keenly purchased as investment.
