Virtual Reality

       Throughout time man has had different approaches on reality. Whether it would be from the dreams we have to the physical material that stands before us. As time zips on by the innovation of technology grows at an unfathomable rate and the human race adapts to the technology quickly. While the technology becomes more advanced so do the visual effects of devices such as the television and gaming systems. Both devices perform well at showing crisp and cleanly cut images that through the advancement of technology, improving the projection of images the we are able to provide ourselves with a virtual reality with the help of these devices.

       How real can virtual reality get to the real reality? Since video games and gaming consoles came to existence, the increasing need towards each advancement is to kick up the graphics engine to provide a growing and more beautiful look. The gaming companies that manufacture the video games have had years of experience by bringing objects to life using some of the best graphic engines that they can get their hands on. With the help of the graphics engine, digital modelers and animators have been able to pull off flawless and smooth animation senses. Modelers can make up an entire world from the high mountain tops, down to the smallest vein of a leaf lying on the ground. Characters and other miscellaneous things are made by these digital artists to make them look as if you could be staring at a photograph of something similar to what the modelers have created.

      Now with a situation such as a handicapped citizen, would he or she be able to use this sense and experience of virtual reality as a substitute for the real deal if the person had some condition where they could not go and experience certain parts of reality? If someone could not truly go out and experience the outdoors, they would be able to stay inside and look at a television and watch some shows that had something relative to what the person would want to observe. A good thing about paying attention to a television is mainly that you are in no possible chance in harms way. A way to save a couple grand would be to stay home and possibly watch some of a history channel to learn about a certain location instead of driving or flying there.

      Could a virtual reality dictate our real lives? The way that virtual reality can help a human being detach from the real world even for a second is an extraordinary sensation that would relieve possible stress on that person that they may be dealing with. But would stress possibly spawn itself while experiencing a virtual reality? There could be many factors that could lay out stress for the the person experiencing with virtual reality but the stress would not be prolonged because it is simply a virtual world.

       A virtual reality can also be thought of to be imaginary, as if what you saw could not hurt you. For the real world, there is no way for us to manipulate objects in the way you can with the virtual relaity because the possibilities for your knowledge and experience are practically endless.
