Virtual Reality

The below section contains a lot of words, but I know that you are capable of reading them. This is a really interesting topic. Trust me, this will only do you good, so please be patient and finish reading them before jumping into the games :)
Keep in mind, you are smarter and more powerful than you think you are and some challenges for yourself will surely make you grow!

Fun Ahead ! I forget that my lunchbox is at HOME >

The Definition of Virtual Reality

This is what your dictionaries will most likely tell you and I'll try my best to simplify it:)

What is VR?

To understand what VR is, I myself did some research and got the information from Investopedia.

(I wouldn't recommend you to do the same because it is a website for business people, and business is hard, so pay attention right here*  )

The "Dictionary Definition" of VR

A Simulation that is Artificial (Human-made)

Virtual Reality refers to a simulation that is artificial, which, in easier words, is a 3D space created by computers that can be like the real world or a fantastical one.

Generated by Computers

A person who wants to create a space like this needs a computer; A person who wants to be in the space needs electronics devices such as sensor gloves or special goggles.

Interact-able

Anyone with the special equipments on can enter the virtual world and do whatever they want. For example, you can travel to Atlantis, visit Queen Victoria or even walk on the Moon if that is what the program allows you to.

This is what a basic VR headset looks like...

The headset contains a goggle and two controllers.

A person is supposed to put his or her head in the goggle, and a simulated world would then be shown right on the screen in front of his or her eyes, amazing, right?

Picture the controllers as magic wands because they can basically allow you to do anything in this created, semi-imaginary world.

VR, it is like entering a whole another world

A Demonstration of VR

Want to know what living with dinosaurs is like? This video will show you what a VR world looks like. 
**warning**⚠️  T-Rex ahead!!!!

Video's credit goes to MeriStation

Apart from a dinosaur, What did you see?

You probably already know that dinosaurs became extinct a long time ago, so how do we explain the dinosaurs and the eggs in the video?

You're right! This is a fictional world created by technology experts.

Notice how it is a three-dimensional world with realistic sound effects, they are all done by people. Even the T-Rex's breath is made!

Although this is only a video and you cannot control or do anything to change the situation, you can tell from the moving of the character's viewpoint that there are choices to be made and it is interact-able.

I want to learn more! I need to rest now... 

The Past and the Future of VR

To learn about the future, it is better to start from the past :D

Who invented the Virtual Reality?

There is not ONE person that invented Virtual Reality or the devices of it, but MANY.

Several people throughout history are accountable for the creation. (They are listed below)
It started with some really smart and creative people coming up with the idea of Virtual Reality, later on, they planned and planned and made prototypes.

Eventually, it was with dozens of hands that the device was finally made and formed into today's version.

The Evolution of VR Headsets

1838

The first ever Stereoscope

Mobirise

This stereoscope was invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone using two mirrors to project one image. 

A View-Master

Mobirise

This View-Master is developed from the stereoscope invented in the 1800s and people nowadays still use it. 

1939

1956

The Sensorama

Mobirise

A man named Morton Heiling who worked in the film industry wanted to know what the audience would feel like if they were in a movie, so he invented the Sensorama.

1960

The Telesphere Mask

Mobirise

This headset is also a work of Heiling, and THIS is the foundation of our current VR device.

The "Ultimate Display"

Mobirise

Another brilliant inventor, Ivan Sutherland, offered this device and claimed that it is a "window into a virtual world."

1965

Now

VR Headset

Mobirise

It is after numerous modifications and fixing that the VR headset is finally what it looks like nowadays.

The Future of VR

The information below is provided by a Technology Enterprise Contributor Bernard Marr on Forbes.

What is it going to be like?

According to the article published by Forbes, VR has the potential to be used wider in our life.

It has been used to train surgical doctors for surgeries, Walmart employees for how to deal with Black Friday's sales and so on.
It is also possible that VR will be used for educational purposes.

Imagine having to wear a headset for class and visiting different countries in VR instead of reading maps during Geography class, isn't it exciting?

On top of that, experts are attempting to create an "Internet of Senses", in which we are able to touch, taste and smell.

There are so much to look forward ahead!!

This is interesting... May I go to the restroom?

Where can we see VR?

In this section, I am going to show you the applications of VR.

Military Usages

Entertainment

Healthcare Uses

Education

*Graphics Warning* If you are scared of human organs, you should skip to the next section.

Go on! Go on! Can I go get my snacks please?

Why VR is important to us?

And why you should go to the next page to learn about AR.

First and foremost, it is important to your education....

After learning about VR, you can tell that it is widely used in our lives.

We all love games, right? VR can take us to a whole another level providing special visual and sound effects during our experiences.

If you want to live longer and play more games (but not too much or your eyes will be damaged), healthcare is also important. With these new and advanced techniques, VR headsets can better prepare the doctors for any situations.

Same with military, you are likely to become soldiers and serve for your country one day, and paying attention to these new technology can be very beneficial for you.

Not to mention the entertainment part of VRs, who wouldn't want to travel to Space, Jurassic or a Minecraft world? At least I would love to! And the rollercoaster experience, I mean, WOW!

Mobirise

This could be you.

VR will change the way you learn

According to Adobe, VR can help with the followings when learning:

- Experience it when you read it
- Amazing virtual science lab
- Learn by doing
- Easier to engage in
- Visual learning is more fun!

VR is the game-changer, here's why...

VR can literally change your game. It can change everything. Not only does VR offers engaging and powerful experience, it also set a new standard for the world.
VR is a technology that grew rapidly in the past few years and to be honest, people are all having a sort of addiction for technology. But knowing thoroughly about VR isn't necessarily a bad thing, maybe someday you will be working in a field that is related to this awesome technology.

Mobirise

See, I told you it is important.

Changes that can be made by this technology

By saying that VR sets a new standard, it is showing us anything can be made.

Anything is possible.

As stated by Freeman.com, VR is almost "limitless". And a good thing about VR is how it is accessible and will possibly be used more widely in the future.

Ten years from now, when you are in high school, there probably will not be a science lab since there is no need for that and a VR Room will be required.

Or, students can travel to Musée du Louvre without having to leave their school. I'm sure the virtual trip will be both convenient and fun!

To sum up...

According to livestilesglobal.com, there are 3 main benefits brought by VR:

1. Training- VR, like I mentioned above, can help train soldiers, doctors and so on. This means that it has the potential to train other people, too. From nurses to chefs, this can bring more benefits than we could ever imagine.

2. Conferencing- I assume you all have experienced Zoom or Microsoft Teams classes during the pandemic, so you all know what it feels like. Despite it being very un-fun and we are not allowed to meet our friends in person, it actually saved us a lot of traveling time. You have to admit that this is somewhat convenient.

3. Convenience- Speaking of convenience, VR can save people a lot of time. For example, An archaeologist wouldn't have to travel all the way from the UK to Egypt for his or her training, he or she can simply put on the VR headset and practice in the classroom.

Overall, VR is a star with tons of potential and will rise even higher in the future.

Now I'm interested in AR Can I go back to the top, I have some questions.
