Introduction
The entertainment offered in the world of virtual reality is completely of a different type, with computer-generated graphics and specially designed equipment; we may enter a whole new world and experience events without actually being there. Virtual reality offers scientists a way to explore, gamers a new level in gaming, educators another way of teaching and the medical profession another teaching aid.

    Neil Postman Virtual Students Digital Classroom Summary

    In Neil Postman’s essay “Virtual Students, Digital Classroom” Postman provides food for thought on the topic of technology and how dependent our nation has become upon its existence. He then goes on to examine the correlation between technology and education. Some educators like Lewis Perelman argue, “Technologies have rendered schools entirely irrelevant since there is now much more information available outside the classroom than inside it” (544). Technology has always been about giving people access to information as quickly and easily as possible. Schools are designed for the distribution of information as well, but they also play a larger role in the development of our society. There are some things you…

    Virtual Reality In Mr. James Halliday's Ready Player One

    Virtual Reality (VR) has been omnipresent throughout modern literature, film, etc, and Ernest Cline’s novel, Ready Player One, epitomizes the controversial nature of VR. The story explores the successes of, Mr. James Halliday, one of the greatest games creators of all time. During his career, Halliday created a VR world, called OASIS, which serves as an immersive alternate educational experience for high school students. In the wake of Halliday’s recent passing, it becomes evident that his fortune has been left behind, hidden within the OASIS to be discovered via treasure hunt. The novel follows the story of Wade Watts, as he works to find Halliday’s fortune while simultaneously fulfilling his secondary education all within the OASIS. Ultimately, the consequential effect that Halliday’s OASIS imposes upon people has both positive and negative influences, however, the novel presents extreme positives and extreme negatives. Yet, in taking a more in depth look at the real world effects that VR might have on society, such as the use of VR for veterans, the advancement of the book’s plot do not necessarily align with the potentials of the VR, proving that VR is a crucial innovation that must be withstood by…

    Virtual School

    The thing that gets you hooked with Mariachi El Bronx is that it is not your typical Mexican style mariachi. Usually when you think about mariachi you tend to think about a dinner at a Mexican restaurant, a situation that you do not find necessarily entertaining but something you get a couple laughs about. This band is serious! The melody coming from the guitars and violin is very amusing, accompanied by the vocals makes a perfect song. The chorus of the song is very catchy; you'll be singing "my revolution girl" for the next couple of hours. The balance between the polyphonic texture and synchronized harmony really sets this song apart from the rest. In my opinion these elements compiled into this song is what makes this band so great. The fact that they can do it over and over again is going to have them at the top of the mariachi mountain for a long time.…

    Second Life Virtual Learning Environment

    When I began my master program, I was not sure how Second Life (SL) virtual learning environment (VLE) could impact my learning experience at Chamberlain. After completing several tasks in virtual learning environment, I began to see why SL was introduce to me in this program. Using the virtual learning environment has many benefits for nursing. The apparent benefit is patient safety. The second life grants a nurse or student the possibility to participate in the virtual learning environment, allowing the skills learned to be applied without having to worry about harming the patient if a mistake is made. A good example was written by Ludlow (2015), that paramedics in a virtual learning environment, were provided a scenario of multiple victims…

    Effects Of Virtual Reality Games

    Abstract— The use of virtual reality games has spread to various human activities in populations of all ages. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), as well as virtual reality games, have become strategic allies in the learning processes, since interactivity increases motivation, a process that underlies learning. In the same sense, these games have been used as methods of cognitive and physics in some neurological pathologies such as cerebrovascular accidents and Alzheimer's disease. This research was developed through a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, posttest and a control group with infants. The study population met the following inclusion criteria: children of educational institutions located in the city of Bogotá, D.C., that have not practiced virtual reality sports games and that have all their physical and mental…

    Immersive of Multitmedia

    Users can interact with a virtual environment or a Virtual Artifact (VA) either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove, the Polhemus, and omnidirectional treadmills. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world – for example, in simulations for pilot or combat training – orit can be significantly from reality, such as in VR games. In practice, it is currently very difficult to create a high-fidelity virtual reality experience, due largely to technical limitations on processing power, image resolution, and communication bandwidth; however, the technology’s proponents hope that such limitations will be overcome as processor, imaging, and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective overtime.…
