I also thought the virtual choir video is unbelievable. I love the idea that virtual reality can immerse us into worlds we thought we could never experience. I love how this relates to movies that are coming out like Avatar and movies that are in 3-D.CBradachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098629997063426095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961983060235143963.post-61244635094005503202011-05-02T12:42:10.083-07:002011-05-02T12:42:10.083-07:00Virtual Reality could definitely be used as a glim...Virtual Reality could definitely be used as a glimpse into the future and we could go to the extent of exploiting it, as we probably do already, for practical goals too. Pilots first learn the fundamental techniques of flying an aircraft by use of simulators that literally immerse the user into the whole experience in an utterly realistic way. <br />Police officers and the army use tactical engagement simulation programs to train their recruits in a more effective way. It really is astonishing, and combines the goods of both worlds, eliminating the possibility of injuries or deaths due to inexperience. The concept that Bolter and Gromala talked about in their book “Windows and Mirrors” comes to mind once again, about how users cannot help but completely immerse themselves into the VR experience, thus at some point forgetting that it is not real. They therefore gain a lot of knowledge from those programs and also learn how to react in certain situations. That knowledge is then carried and applied to real life situations. These programs have adopted a more commercial form now, and are even sold to wider publics, like gaming enthusiasts for example.<br />I too am of the opinion that American culture defines all trends, from cinema, attire, music, to even baby diapers maybe. The huge amounts of money invested in advertising more than justify this outcome, together with the pursuit of the American dream. But like George Carlin very appositely once stated "The reason they call it the American dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.”Alex Galinoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606616319637992983noreply@blogger.com
