With all the talk about virtual reality it makes you wonder just how much we'll actually use them. Don't understand? What I'm talking about is how much we'll use it for daily life. For instance, will we use it for school and other everyday things. Well, I for one think the school idea for one is great! Not because I like school, far from it. But since it's illegal to not go to school you have to go. Bu if we could stay at home and learn using virtual reality it would be better and easier. A bit like the radio schools in the Australian Outback. Still hopelessly lost? Read on.
Well if you could transmit the class room using virtual reality you could actually see the classroom, other pupils and the teacher. Getting onto my actual point for this whole topic. If we were able to transmit the landscape data from where you want to visit into your err... virtual reality room you could actually visit the place, in a way. And there could be heating and cooling systems to create the exact climate of this certain area you want to visit.
Some drawbacks are that you can't feel things physically. Also the whole of the place you wanted to visit probably wouldn't fit into the room you operate your virtual reality system in.
There would be other things you could try. For instance, for a charge you could transmit data from a sports game into your virtual reality system. Imagine watching the Olympics in Athens whilst sitting in your tiny home in rainy old Hull. I can't imagine what the price would be. I'd think ( if they did it) it would be around the same price as a ticket to the actual games.
It'd be life saving if you could consuult a doctor and let them take a visual check-up even if you lived about five miles away from the nearest clinic.
Of course all my predicting is all based on the hope that they have invented a good and reliable virtual reality system in the forseeable future. Oh well. Only time can tell.
