The Importance Of Virtual Reality

Although this specific program will likely not become available to average consumers, the same foundations for the simulation will be available on the marketplace while being affordable at the same time. In time, applied use of virtual reality such as the Oculus Rift will become mainstream and accepted in everyday life not only due its entertainment value, but also due to its affordability for consumers everywhere. Thoughts of virtual reality often resemble fantastical scenarios reminiscent of scenes in movies with similar themes like Gamer, The Matrix, Total Recall, and Inception. After one delves into the VR technology in products such as the Oculus Rift, one will begin to believe, and he or she will brace themselves for the tidal wave that is the paradigm shift of virtual reality.

My name is Kerry Huxley, I am a recent graduate of Prosper High School. It has come to my attention that there is a debate whether or not we should accept or deny an offer made by Virtuosity regarding there new virtual reality system. I believe we should not accept this offer due to the flaw that technology can provide.

The pros of virtual reality outweigh the cons of virtual reality. Virtual reality help a lot of people that are lonely and giving them some help, maybe boosting their confidence or even providing them with information on how to do something like getting a date. According to the source: “ ‘A lot of people are lonely.’ Anderson admits. ‘ They want some sort of entertainment or companionship or a little bit of both.’” (Article 2, Page 8) This shows how, virtual reality can be used to help out the lonely people, the people that don't have confidence. Virtual reality is more of like a voice for the voiceless. Also, another way virtual reality shows how it has many pros, and those pros beat out the cons the following shows this from the text (My Virtual Girlfriend) : “I’ve been in a real relationship for almost a year and , in some ways, playing My Virtual Girlfriend reminded me of what my boyfriend and my early dalliances felt like.” Furthermore, both quotes support the claim of how people are struggling and disabled people, letting people believe, and it gives a pro over a con. It doesn't let people struggle, it gives people options, and you may ask how? Well, virtual reality allows you to believe that you are this, you are good at this that feeds into your mind and you begin to build your confidence to get that entertainment to go out

Virtual reality(VR) is a relatively new frontier in the technology industry. So new in fact, that, at its current stage, what it is and its potentials are unfamiliar to the general public. VR originally started gaining momentum as a new platform to game on, but its potential must be analyzed broadly in more than just one vocation. Because of the immersion VR provides, it has an immense capacity to benefit the educational field. Everyone is unique in the way they learn best; some people learn best by reading, some people learn audibly better, and, some people learn visually.

Virtual reality is an interesting topic. Today, technology develops so rapidly, and it becomes a vital role in society.

authors showed that virtual reality (VR) is one of the best new technologies that can be applied

Virtual Reality was an invention that revolutionized the world of entertainment. So basically, here are 3 quotes from Tom’s Guide. First one is “What was once the stuff of Hollywood fantasy has now become reality.” So virtual reality made everything that was only real in movies reality. The second quote is “With its high refresh rate and low latency, most people shouldn't experience motion sickness in theory.” What it is saying is that you won’t get motion sickness from playing on a VR system. The final quote from Tom’s guide is “Filmmakers have begun to experiment with the Oculus Rift to make an audience member feel like he or she is part of the film.” Basically, the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset will not just do games, but also TV shows and movies once they are able to. In conclusion, virtual reality can be very helpful for most kinds of entertainment.

There are many new and emerging technologies that have come around that have changed the field of healthcare as we know it. One of the biggest of these is Virtual Reality, which once was but a dream of how amazing and advanced the future would be, is now is evolving into a legitimate reality. And the new innovations of this tech have been greatly helping Health Care in many ways, from helping patients with extreme phobias or PTSD, to training doctors for surgery. Virtual Reality (VR) is defined as “The computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with

Sebastian Anthony, senior editor of ExtremeTech.com, focuses on the potential dangers that could become problematic because of the speed of the advancement of the technology and the increasing interrelationship of the virtual-reality world and the real world. He expresses concern regarding the blurring of distinction between the two. An example is Oculus Rift which is a virtual reality headset that puts you inside a virtual world that seems completely lifelike. You can run around, fight, race, fly and create in a way that gamers have never done before. There have been “reports of people experiencing the odd sensation of fraying, blurring the divide between real and virtual that persists for a few minutes after detaching from the headset.” (Anthony, 2014, par.4)

Imagine a world, that is anything and everything. Race a dream car. Meet a superstar. Go to Paris, New York, London, or even see the Great Pyramids. A virtual reality - an idea that is coming to life, an idea that will change the world, whether it be good or bad. Ernest Cline, the author of Ready Player One, warned us that virtual reality is going to change the world. Ready Player One is a story about a teen named Wade, in a world where video games are everything. A virtual reality world called the OASIS changed the world into a place where people are antisocial and don’t care about the world anymore. Change with VR can already be seen with the invention of the TV, the phone, the iPhone, and numerous other inventions, It’s already happening - the world is blowing up over Vive, Oculus, Hololens, and more, and VR is going to make things happen: such as solving problems. Is change happening? Are problems going to be solved? Yes, we can already see change.

To discuss Lanier’s keen views and anticipations regarding Virtual Reality back in the mid 1980s, it would be useful to first cover exactly how far Virtual Reality has progressed up until today. This essay will begin by discussing the history of Virtual Reality and the usage trends. That discussion will then be used to preface a discussion about Lanier’s views that were expressed in A Vintage Virtual Reality Interview. The essay will then finish off by looking at particularly interesting views held by some of today’s futurists and these views will be related back to Lanier’s original exuberant view of Virtual

(96) Virtual reality (VR) is define as a cybernetic simulation of 3D surroundings which can be interactive through auditory, sensory and visually stimulating equipment, i.e. gloves, headgear or headphones. VR is an incredibly recent development in technology and such has much room to progress with, I believe that VR is the future of animation as the key aim is to transport the viewer into the world we have created, VR being the next logical step as it creates this suspension of belief as well as activating all of the senses we use to perceive the real world.

It is now a familiar, but true, cliché to observe that the power and capability of computing machinery is increasing at a tremendous rate. In addition, a wide variety of techniques for producing more convincing VR are currently being researched. It is reasonable to expect, therefore, that in this crucial respect VR

Virtual reality defined as to produce and create the effect of an interactive 3D world in which the objects have a sense of spatial presence by using computer technologies. Our perceptual and cognitive system will be presented by precise clues in order for our brain to interpret and understand those clues as outside object in 3D world. In addition, virtual reality suggest a lot of benefits and advantages to education of technical such as delivery information through multiple active channels, addressing of dissimilar learning styles, experiential-based learning and so on ( Bell & Fogler, 2004, p 217).

Seeing is believing, these words are the best combination to understand the meaning of Virtual Reality (VR). VR is one of the best asset and aspect of our future. No other technology has seen such a revolution like VR has. It is practically in use in almost every field such as entertainment, gaming, defense, robotics, medical, healthcare, military, education, fashion, heritage, business, engineering and many more fields. VR sometimes called Virtual Environment has drawn much attention in the last two decade. Extensive media coverage causes the much more rapid increase in the interest of the masses.
