Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds
Last year i was considering to buy Play Station (PS4) after final. Since i had no idea how it work, i researched about the games that i can play with PS4. There was one interesting game named Driveclub. It was really interesting. It doesn't really look like reality, but i could tell it might be similar to the real driving. It started with a small thing such as changing avatar (NYtimes), but we have progressed it a lot.
Many people are thinking that we can use Modeling reality skill to the educations, healthcare and delivering works (Forbes). In my opinion we can use reality modeling for the dangerous job first. There are many firefighters who pass away while they are helping for the people. However if we can make a nice program for preparing those event, it might be helpful for them to prevent unexpected events such as not normal. As we create movie with those skill such as Avartar (WSJ), we can create new scenarios for those events.
Also, It can be use to overcome psychological traumas. There are many people who are struggling with traumas in their lives. if they know that is a modeled reality and try to do it, definitely will be helpful for them to overcome it such as driving, acrophobia and Post Traffic stress disorder.
I also read many comments about Modeling reality to see how people think. many people agree to use Modeling reality, because it has many possibility that we can utilize. If we can construct a good program, it will be really helpful for the any type of business.
but on the other hand, it's open to the bad possibilities as well. Many people also worried about deceptional use. As many programs that was invented to help people are a mean for the scammers right now. If we want to use modeling reality more wide, we need to construct really strong security as well.
If we can overcome the usage problem. in the future our lives will be different. in the many situations instead of getting experience at the real life, we will practice through the modeling reality and be more skillful at the real place. It can be anywhere business, dangerous work and any type of place that required to be more skillful.

Relatable about the PS4 comment, I agree with your applications for Virtual Reality. It's interesting how simulations can train users for situations they might not face in real life: Having faced these extraordinary situations make the users more than ready for their job, ala Firefighters using Virtual Reality to train themselves.
ReplyDeleteRegarding using virtual reality to overcome psychological trauma, it is interesting how experts are using technology as new techniques to help resolve problems. It shows that technology can be used positively and benefit people and society.
