Think of it this way 100 years ago possibilities were
limited. You could not experience the world like you can today. Virtual reality
allows you to experience the world without leaving your house or even the
country. Can you recall going house or apartment shopping and having to walk
around looking in every room? Now you can simply sit in front of your computer
or on your phone and take a virtual tour. Today is considered Virtual Reality!!
There are millions of people now using it as a means to escape reality. You don’t
have any worries and don’t have to deal with other people. It is a get away
from the real world and that is why people use it. We as people are not satisfied
with ourselves or our life. Virtual reality is a means to create a new life. In
a virtual world the impossible becomes possible. Using the Oculus Rift a couple
kids got to swim with sharks and dolphins and to them it felt like a real life
experience.

Visual life a good thing?!!!!!!!
Virtual reality is all fun and games until it starts to
affect your reality. Performing a task in the virtual environment then trying
to perform the same task in reality is not a good idea and doesn’t give you the
same feeling. Pilots are instructed to not use flying stimulators 24 hours
before operating with an actual plane. The difference between the two steering
wheels is the absence of the air pressure in the virtual flying game and causes
a confusion with the pilot. It can also cause motion sickness. Being in the
virtual environmental for at least 30 minutes can cause nausea as if you have
been on a plane, boat, or moving car. Getting too caught up in virtual life
will control your life. It is diminishing the social skills. With is becoming
so popular the concern is that people will start to lack empathy, ability to
communicate, and other basics of humanity. This is proven to be wrong. Studies
show that the Oculus Rift headset allows you to step in other position. It
builds the empathy for those with disabilities and makes you more willing to
help someone. The joy you experience in the virtual world will motivate you to
do and be better. It makes you feel as if that experience is your actual real
life and they would call that a downfall but it is actually good. For example,
if your virtual character exercise and is healthy it might lead you to a
healthy lifestyle. The only downfall to it is that you will get stuck in
virtual world and not want to leave because it is more enjoyable. You can
literally do whatever you want.
Future of Virtual Reality
What will the future of virtual reality be like? The
technology in these days are rapidly improving. With the technology becoming
more advanced you will see enhancements in gaming, television, and virtual
reality. The new editions of technology improving what would the world of
virtual reality look like? Would we be able to differentiate between what is
virtual and what is reality? It is said by writers of the website http://thenanoage.com/virtual-reality.htm
that our brains are reality and helps us consider what is real. We all perceive
something different about reality but the brain modify what we perceive. It
interprets what the outside world looks like. Therefore everybody’s reality is
being mimicked to looking the same. The brain acts as a filter between us and
the “real” world. This being said “does are virtual world represent something
more real than what we think to be reality? In the world of virtual reality we
are limited to typing as a means of communication with other characters. This doesn’t
allow us to show what we mean by actions but instead using words to best
describe so the other person can comprehend. There have been talk about this
type of technology being possible and with the building of new greater advanced
technology we should see this in a couple of years. This being the case virtual
reality will become more popular and might even be considered reality and not
virtual anymore. Scientist are working on new technology that will make it
possible to virtually walk in the shows of others and experience a different
environment.
