Virtual Reality is an emerging technology that could possibly replace most of the computers, which we use today.

INTRODUCTION

I have always been interested in innovations and technology in general. I constantly try to get the newest technology available on the market, usually not for it’s practical value, but just out of curiosity. For some reason, before I started working on this talk, I didn’t know much about Virtual Reality. I knew how it worked and I had basic knowledge about the technology, but I definitely didn’t fully understand it’s potential and I had never considered some of its amazing capabilities.

WHY VIRTUAL REALITY?

The more I read about Virtual Reality, the more I became convinced that there are infinite number of ways you can use it. I also became convinced that it can open new doors for our creativity and imagination. Which is why I wanted to share some of the recent developments in the VR world.

WHY VIRTUAL REALITY?

VR Filmmaking can offer completely new experiences with the 360 degree camera, because you will be able to look around and move during the movie scenes.

NEW WAYS OF FILMMAKING

What virtual paining offers is revolutionary, imagine being able to paint in space, where your environment becomes your painting canvas.

VIRTUAL PAINTING

Virtual music studio transforms the existing music production programs to look like actual studios, meaning people will be able to produce music virtually exactly like in real life.

VIRTUAL MUSIC STUDIO

Existing real life constraints limit the amount of professional training available for pilots, while also incurring unnecessary costs. VR simulations not only relieve companies of these costs, but enable more people to have access to them.

TRAINING SIMULATIONS

There is a lot of on-going research, especially for medical education, to deliver lectures with the help of VR devices. This newly developed system of learning can help make education easier, faster and more fun, by providing students with visual models of how exactly human body reacts to different medical conditions.

EDUCATION

Technological advancements in general have helped the disabled with their conditions, in many cases it has saved their lives. Steven Hawking, one of the greatest minds living today, has been able to communicate his scientific breakthroughs only because of the sophisticated technology available.

VR isn’t going to be an exception in this regard, because it is going to help the disabled get a glimpse of what activities like; surfing, scuba-diving, mountain climbing etc. feel like.

HELPING THE DISABLED

EXPERIENCE

Google Earth developers have been working on a VR version of the program, which enables users to teleport and fly in any part of the world in a matter of seconds.

ALSO, YOU CAN FLY

VR is still at the very early stages of development, so it is definitely impossible to foresee what will be achieved with it. But looking at current projects and researches, it definitely seems that this technology is going to have massive effect on the world and our lives. The primary goal of VR, is giving people the ability to create new experiences, which were unavailable in the past due to real world restrictions. At the same time VR plans to give more people access to professional training and education.
