Argumentative Essay On 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.

Some experts have opinions on the topic of AI and how it can affect the human body “We believe the brain has to fight against its normal coupling to handle that problem, and that makes some people uncomfortable,” said Banks. “That makes some people’s eyes tired. There are even some cases where it makes people nauseous; it gives them a headache.” An expert Marty Banks, professor of optometry, vision science, psychology, and neuroscience at UC Berkeley, talked about the problems that can affect the body while using VR. Therefore, this shows that, even some experts think that VR can be bad for you, and can result in bad things happening to your body, and your mind like in The

In your life, have you ever thought about using virtual reality? Have you ever taken to time to actually look at and think about both sides of virtual reality?

Botella et al. (2010) evaluated the efficacy of VR apparatus called Emma’s world. Emma’s world consisted of a large screen projector which included virtual objects, music, sounds, images, colors, videos and texts designed to represent various traumatic events. The control condition included in-vivo and imaginal

Though putting a mentally ill person in a controlled environment, where scientists can observe he or she, while they put the patient through some sort of exercise, Doctors can receive a better understanding on how to treat the patient. Sometime the Virtual Reality experience is the treatment itself. When someone, like a veteran, has PTSD, for example, he or she can be treated with virtual reality experiences of certain memories, helping them emotionally overcome the traumatic experience. Also, V.R. technology can help social disorders by merging them into social settings that are not threatening to the person with the disorder, thus, helping make him or her to become more social. Last, a more sensitive subject, V.R. can help people overcome his or her fears by, again, showing their fears in a different way to make the fear less frightening. For example, if a person has a fear of spiders, he or she could be put into a situation that teaches his or her brain that spiders are not something to be feared, maybe be put into the spider's point of view to get a sense of what it is like to be a spider. However, Marshall talks about how some people say that it could also be used for torture, perhaps, V.R.could be used to expose terrifying scenes (like death or

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental illness that effects millions of people worldwide, including war veterans, police officers, marines and crash survivors. Recent research of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has produced new treatments with great potential and better results. This paper investigates the use of virtual reality as way of treating people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

With the virtual reality industry constantly expanding to include many different uses, clearly our current society is slowly becoming more similar to the World State in Brave New World. VIRTUAL REALITY IN BRAVE NEW WORLD In the World State, several different ways to escape reality exist. One of these ways is through the

Medical Applications of virtual and augmented reality: Virtual reality is an interactive simulation that makes you feel like you are somewhere you are not. It is now starting to be used in the medical field. For patients that are in pain, virtual reality can be used to make it seem like they are in a different happier place. Studies show that it has the same effectiveness level as morphine, possibly even more effective. For therapists who help people with different fears, virtual reality can help conquer the fear. For example, a virtual reality for people suffering arachnophobia allows people to experience what it is like to have spiders surrounding them. Virtual reality can also be used for surgical training. Surgeons can practice surgery without the fear of hurting or injuring an actual patient. This is helpful because if they mess up, they do not have to deal with the consequences that come from surgical mistakes. Virtual reality is a very new and upcoming idea, and in the near future it has the potential to become much more common in a healthcare

Virtual-reality also poses a significant threat/opportunity towards us within the creative industry, especially us who use audio and video. The eyes and ears translate what I create. Films are good at immersing people into created universes and stories. However, VR, Interaction, and sensory feelings like touch and smell may be included in the standard formula for immersive entertainment.

Physically and emotionally intensive virtual reality experiences could exacerbate existing medical conditions that could potentially result in serious injury or death. Also excessive engagement in virtual reality could result in ignoring basic human needs, such as eating properly, exercising, social interaction, personal hygiene, etc.” (Anthony, 2014, par. 2) As a result, Anthony suggests that moral and ethical codes could become compromised as a result of excessive virtual reality experiences. The brain will become unable to differentiate between situations where certain behaviors that are acceptable in the virtual reality world are not acceptable in the real world. As a result, a system needs to be put in place that will keep the distinction between the virtual-reality world and the real world

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.

[Many people argue the ideas and theories of virtual reality. Vivian Chazen's article " Virtual Reality Offers Real-World Benefits" in the Tuscon Local Media journal states that VR has benefits not only for video gamers, but also helps with people who suffer from socializing such as antisocial, loneliness, and also, isolated individuals. As well as improving the mental and physical wellness of people. According to Vivian Chazen vr is a lot more than just fun and games. Vivan Chazen even introduced the idea to some of her friends collogues to make a small study of the pleasure and easiness of the new marketed technology. Taking a simple virtual reality headset and controller to the residents of Splendido and it quickly sparked conversation and questions of " what else can one do with this technology".

As we continue to progress further into technological advances, we begin to become more interactive with our technology. As this Is becoming the norm, for media to be more interactive, new regulations come into question. This is particularly true for virtual reality games. Kate Edwards wrote a response to whether virtual reality video games should be more regulated than conventional video games for Congressional Quarterly Researcher in the February 26, 2016, issue. The analysis of virtual reality was written by Thomas J. Billitteri. Edward’s experience on the issue comes from being the executive director of the International Game Developers Association. Edwards claims, “Every new media has experienced a level of caution and critical examination

Virtual Reality games are the new emerging type of video games. It is the digital simulation of the game era before video games existed; as for it is trying to recreate the illusion of actually being part of the game instead of playing it on a flat monitor. A broad definition of Virtual Reality according to Steven LaValle is “Inducing targeted behavior in an organism by using artificial sensory stimulation, while the organism has little or no awareness of the interference.” ( LaValle, 1). He states that the player or the user is put in a situation that is made by the creator of this certain virtual environment so that the user feels as part of the simulated world and could hardly distinguish the artificially simulated world from reality. Moreover,
