Virtual Reality Simulation Response

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.

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

The use of simulation as a tool for developing and assessing surgical competencies in different fields of medicine has extensively been studied. By incorporating the use of virtual reality simulation (VRS), cataract surgery training has moved from the traditional Halstedian method1 to a more holistic method that facilitates the process of learning.2 The significant effects of using a VRS method in the improvement of different microsurgical skills, especially in ophthalmology, have been widely reported in the literature.3-7

Over the years, however, these have been linked to other forms of loss, such as the loss of friendships or relationships or the loss of a limb (Help guide, 2016). The stages are seen as a tool to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling as a result of various losses in our lives (Smith, J, 2011). However not everyone will go through each stage or in any set order (Patricelli, K, 2016). Denial is the first stage of Kubler Ross’s stages of grief and is the phase where a person is in a state of shock and finds it hard to accept that the loss has taken place (Patricelli, K, 2016). They may feel as though they are having a bad dream, and they will wake up expecting that the loss hasn’t occurred and that things will be back to normal (Smith, J, 2011). After an individual has passed through the denial stage they may begin to have feelings of anger, abandonment and unfairness (Patricelli, K, 2016). They may start to think, “I hate her for doing that,” or “I hate him for dying!” and direct anger outward by blaming the doctors, family, friends or God, or turn the anger inwards blaming themselves for what has happened (Smith, J, 2011). Next comes Bargaining which is when an individual begs for the loss to be undone and promises of better behaviour or significant life changes which will be made in exchange for the reversal of the loss (Patricelli, K, 2016). “What if I devote the rest of my life to helping others? Then can I wake up and realize this has all been a bad dream?” (Help guide, 2016). Once an individual realises that Anger and Bargaining are not going to reverse the loss, they may then fall into a Depression stage (Patricelli, K, 2016). During this period, grieving people may become upset, start to feel empty, experience sleep or eating habit changes, or withdraw from other

We submit here a proposal outlining new applications of virtual reality (VR) towards therapeutic treatments within healthcare. Specifically, we recommend that the Kaiser Medical Groups consider implementing new VR-based therapies within their hospitals in order to improve the quality of patient care and in some cases, to reduce the cost of treatments.

The Denial and Anger Stage begins early in the grieving process (Manning, 2011). Denial is the way a person responds to disbelief or shock and is used as a coping mechanism. Anger is when a person gets mad at God or another person. The Bargaining Stage is a cycle that deals with grief, however, it can also be seen as an effort to reason with whom or what facilitated the loss, and it may be linked with denial. The Depression Stage is a psychological side effect of loss. However, grieving is a normal part of depression, but for long periods of time, it can result in long term depression. The last stage is Acceptance or Resolution Stage which is the end of your mourning period. There is no specific time frame to end grieving because every individual

Once the technology had been developed to a point where it could actually be utilized, VR was often seen as more of a tool than a new method of entertainment. The technology was fine-tuned and then used in flight simulators during the 70s to train pilots before they got into a real plane. The technology then made its way to the entertainment industry during the video-game boom of the 80s. Since its inception, Virtual Reality technology has found a wide range of uses in very unpredictable ways. The military, the space program, medical students and even driving schools use virtual training environments that take place in a version of Virtual Reality.

Discussed in Unit 1 Virtual reality is first of all technology and secondarily an experience that describes many life activities in the information age that we live in.Virtual reality technology relies on the following, immersion, interactivity and information intensity.(Unit1:7)

The College of Computer Science is a diverse academic community where conversations surrounding research and innovation are endless. One of such conversations is virtual reality, which plays a major role in the discourse of my academic community. As one of the major research areas in this discourse community, people in this community are talking about different ways virtual reality can be implemented into classes or throughout campus. Virtual reality has both positive and negative constraints. One positive constraint is the abundance of virtual reality products that are created by a wide range of companies. In this academic discourse community, a positive constraint is everyone researching virtual reality can interact and use the technology for further research in the field. One negative constraint is that despite these welcomed innovations, virtual reality also poses some problems, one of them being how expensive the technology is to the average consumer. More specifically in this academic discourse community, another negative constraint is the technology can be dangerous if not handled properly by students or professors. Virtual reality is currently in early development but as it evolves it has the potential to be as great as the iPhone in sales. So, my question is, “Is virtual reality the next piece of technology to have a major impact on the world?”

Being one of the new up and coming technologies of today, we hear about virtual reality all over but sometimes don’t even know what the term really means. Virtual reality is “a technology that allows the user to go beyond the computer screen and enter a three-dimensional, computer-generated world (Virtual Reality Resources).” In other words, virtual reality is the users interacting with the computer and actually becoming a part of what is happening in the imaginary world, bringing it to life. It is actually a simulation of some aspect of the real world that is basically interactive (Tate).

VR is more than an upgraded version of Cinerama or a theme park ride, as it achieves not only a greater sense of presence, but through the use of computer technology, the capacity to direct one’s gaze and movements so that one can explore and move around inside the illusory flow of images [3]. The main imperfection in simulation at present comes from the difficulties inherent in presenting a sufficiently convincing computer generated image. Presenting a convincing visual input to a human being requires a computer which can handle a vast amount of information. This is both difficult and expensive with existing technology.

Today there are many applications use virtual reality which mainly include fields like Architecture, Sport, Medicine, the Arts and surely an entertainment where we can see considerable growth in the recent time.

For a long time now people have become more adapt to the notion of a virtual reality. Video games, animations, simulations, the list goes on and on and isn’t going to stop any time soon. So why not turn something we love and want into a something we can utilize to our advantage and help us evolve. In recent years Virtual Reality has become more advanced with the introduction of not only more realistic graphics but a V.R head mounted display or for short a Virtual Reality Headset. Such devices like the Oculus Rift and video capture V.R have taken a huge step towards closing the gap between reality and virtual reality, which means a step closer towards potentially having a bigger and better influence on human behaviour. Virtual Reality itself is becoming more effective and more enticing as time goes on which also brings many assets along with it, of which suit as a rehabilitation tool. The opportunity for experimentation within a safe, adaptable and entirely controlled V.R (Virtual Reality) environment allows individual aspects of the client’s needs to be focused on and changed accordingly. This makes it more reliable as the methods of improvement can be catered towards a specific purpose, all accessible through altering the Virtual Reality.

The promise of VR is always been enormous. Put on the devices and go nowhere, and be transported anywhere. It’s the same escapism peddled by the drugs, alcohol, sex and art- throw off the shackles of the mundane through a metaphysical transportation to an

This type of technology would also impact our entertainment industry. People could simulate vacations and other environments that would allow for enjoyment without leaving their homes. I really don't foresee any problems with this type of technology as long as all participants are willing. Virtual reality can help us to understand the world around us on a new level. People could interact and learn more about the environment around them that they might not have understood before. Virtual reality seems to be based on manipulation but as long
