the release. of his first. goal. love and respect. virtual reality has been promising new and bigger adventures for years. dream trips from the comfort of our homes. exciting from. and thrills going to war but what is the reality of version reality i want to see if today.

in twenty eighteen the global be our revenue was three point two billion euros peanuts compared to gaming which made one hundred twenty billion last year still we are technology is making giant strides then you had said new software new games but the stuff is only for hardcore gamers and couch potatoes right wrong you can also use vi to work up a sweat by boxing for example slip on the headset and go through the objects it is perfect for me if i get a black eye here i don't get in trouble with my make up artist. virtual reality boxing training. and b. are big fights. they can be just as hard as matches with real opponents but without running the risk of injury more and more sports are showing up in the yard. at the

v.a.r. institute of health and exercise scientists from san francisco state university are studying the health impact of the our sports they measure a range of physical functions can calculate how many calories per minute using a given game burns so far they tested over fifty of the our applications with different headsets to determine their effects. and tommy treadmill with the our head set can definitely get players working up a sweat and burning calories. just like the music application electronic arts where users can become d.j.'s. you can make your own music and how easy is it to forget your exercising when you're dancing. dancing at a virtual festival to my own music pretty sweet i don't need anyone else for that but the up times when i'd like to share the experience without us all too rare

option b r besides the headsets often clunky the cables get in the way and many of the graphics to look pixilated to really work the software needs to respond to my actions immediately and right now that's often aleck. an amusement park north of nora burke is offering we are bumper cars. of the world. i went there for a test drive and to find out what technology goes into making the perfect be our experience. of ok let's dive in in vietnam looks count resolution and image quality are crucial when it comes to graphics as is field division the one to the field the more intense the experience. another decisive factor is how well the old real movements are reproduced. directing is really

important to how you move your head and whether going to matches your position and you in the virtual world to impose its will on. full shapes ensign's are used in optical tracking the senses reflect infrared light in the dark which is picked up by cameras is just one of the tracking methods the institute is developing for the bumper cars to drive one car off a to do with fourteen senses and they use this position is tracked by thirty two infrared cameras the aim is to minimize latency the delay between real life action unfit representation. of gas. pump oh. it has to feel good when my real movement has to be in sync with what i see if it isn't you get a kind of motion sickness or virtual reality sickness. you feel nauseous. develop those are also working on adding more senses to the virtual reality experience like feeling when the taste and smell that would make the experience

more authentic and of course multi-user absent liven up fish will surroundings. i have to admit i was pretty terrified driving a blind but it was super fun really one of my best experience and with no leg every movement was perfectly reproduced in the world without any delay. but not this time. science research how the brain reacts to what happens exactly when i move in virtual reality. direction work normally for instance. brains process experiences from the real. when the physics. the hippocampus becomes active. this is the part of

our brain perceives. in reality we only see the space. and a large part of our brain is dedicated to image processing. it is enough to rely on visuals alone to create a surrounding. everyone knows there's more to genuine experience. different inputs from our senses to create the whole reality. when it comes to brain studies with that when the. nation's activity in the hippocampus reduced by around sixty percent . the more it generates neural firing patterns that resemble real world brain activation. the rats were placed on this very cold trap which meant they had to move and balance as a result of the rats brains showed similar neural representational space in the

virtual world we use a lot of sense to reproduce to navigate have a look. studies show that to be on needs to include. not just. the sound taste and touch of missing from the experience the illusion is weakened. even so the brain treats real life and simulation similar. patterns of how the brain responds are similar our brain will process fear in a similar way whether i'm in a real life or of your setting. a similar psychological response is trying to. increase his. conductivity changes. in the reward center is activated we can be scared own awarded in. life. the porn industry is often quick to use new technologies

and we are is no exception the point company in north america has a registered over twenty million downloads from his range since may twenty eighth the gaming platform steam also does a large part of its business with offerings but what is virtual six like a tester reports system so i'm sitting in a living room like i actually. feel as if i were actually inside the felt. like i'm part of it. as. if the girl sitting on me right now. she's right here you know here. could. be the next sexual revolution health clue should we be getting with technology. futurologist and internet pioneer brian schuster sees a time when we will become so united with the tech that there will be

a paradigm shift. sexual things. you know where. her sex it referred certainly rather over a network to gratify your life. there's no chance. he was underwhelmed by the experience. you are a part of the action and that's incredible this is a but then again you're also not something like you're moving to touch something with your eyes closed i think but there's nothing there for you to this and what's really missing is real life emotions. you just can't really feel it some developers are working hard to make the experience more real but so far it seems very odd doesn't come close but we are goggles are great when it comes to traveling the last time i went on vacation i explored my destination first with

this model. strictly speaking it was a three hundred sixty degree panoramic view and not be our which is usually more interactive. the tourism industry has shown great interest in the technology for operators in the u.s. state of nevada have tested we are travel advertising with success. slip on a v.a.r. headset and you can be off to a far away land. you can instantly be in nevada it doesn't matter where you were before. there are even apps with which she can book the matching flights from the comfort of your beyond setting but you see also. make sure you do the trip down there with amazing precisely because i was under water for. those you hesitate to travel can experience the world for. paris is shut down. hosts an installation called while in motion

you do without personally i couldn't get enough of the bumper cars but overall the technology still has a long way to go the head says need to be made lyda the cables are a nuisance and the technology is still too expensive and there are simple of ya says for your smartphone which cost only one euro but if you want something decent the headset alone costs one hundred ninety nine euros what do you think join our discussion on facebook and on our new you tube channel you also find explainers their information on the latest tech topics gadgets and my full report on the wii. take care and see you next we.
