that language. this gives me and click a button to nikki to interrupt the flight you want to know their story. her fighting and reliable information for migrants. virtual reality has been promising new and bigger adventures for years dream trips from the comforts of our homes exciting fun. and thrills going to war but what is the reality of virtual reality i want to pick on shift 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 this stuff is only for hardcore gamers and couch potatoes right wrong you can also use to work up a sweat by boxing for example slip on the headset and go beyond boxing is perfect for me if i get a black eye here i don't get in trouble with my makeup 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 b.r. . at the v.a.r. institute of health and exercise scientists from san francisco state university are studying the health impact of your sports they measure a range of physical functions and calculate how many calories per minute using

a given game burns so far they tested over fifty of your applications with different headsets to determine their effects. on the treadmill with the v.o.r. headset can definitely get players working up a sweat and burning calories. just like the wii our 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 there are 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. 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 b r bumper cars. on the little. i went there for a test drive and to find out what technology goes into making the perfect be our experience. ok let's dive in v.a.r. looks count resolution and image quality are crucial when it comes to graphics as is field division the winds of the field the more intense the experience. another decisive factor is how well heeled real movements are reproduced. is really important because of how you move your head and whether going to matches your position and you in the virtual world to. these cool shapes census are used in optical tracking the senses reflects 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 the drive one can offer 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. 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. developers are also working on adding more senses to the virtual reality experiences like feeling when taste and smell that would make the experience more authentic and of course the multi-user ups liven up which will surroundings

a lot. i was pretty terrified driving a bus. but it was really one of my best experience with. every movement. without. but not this time. science research how the brain reacts to what happens exactly when i move in. direction for instance. from the. twenty physics. this is the part of the. reality.

strongest. part of our brain is dedicated to image processing. it is enough to rely on visuals alone to create a surround. 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. activity. the more it generates neural firing patterns. the rats were placed on the spherical treadmill which meant they had to move and balance as a result of the rats brains showed similar neural representation of space in the virtual real world we use a lot of sensory clues to navigate have a look. studies show that beyond needs to include. not

just. your sound taste and touch him missing from the v.a.r. experience the illusion is weakened. even so the brain treats real life and nation 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. a similar psychological responses triggered. rate increases. conductivity changes. in the reward center is activated we can be scared own awarded in. real life. the porn industry is often quick to use new technologies and to be our is no exception the point company in north america has a registered over twenty million downloads from its 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 test reports system i'm sitting in a living room like i actually am feel as if i were actually inside the felt. like i'm part of it. as. the girl sitting on the right now. she's right here you know here. could. be the next sexual revolution how close should we be getting with technology . futurologist and internet pioneer. phone sees a time when we will become so united with the tech that there will be a paradigm shift. sexual. very where people would prefer sex the preferred section

gratify were never to be gratified your life. does not. he was underwhelmed by the experience. part of the action and that's incredible this is a but then again you're also not like you're moving to touch something with your eyes closed things but there's nothing there for you this 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 operators in the u.s. state of nevada have tested we are travel advertising with success. slip on a vo 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 fiance. g.m.c. also. they sure do trip down there with amazing precisely because i was under water for. those who hesitate to travel can experience the world virtually. paris is gigantic. hosts an installation called wild in the ocean it brings visitors even closer to the wild animals than african safari without disturbing real animals in their natural habitats.

really want to use new technologies so that we can be teleported to be among the animals to be in the midst of this wild life in the ocean with chimpanzees seabright and be amazed that visitors curiosity is a rationalist and they learn by seeing and being that this is another potential application of as it is dontcha bellows three hundred sixty degree and. tanks view is all around the german unesco world heritage sites what's the. first of all i can travel to various places virtually even interact with them that's an important feature directing that enhances the immersion in this virtual reality if i can interact a bit i've got something i can do and not just be a spectator. what are your thoughts on the hour when is it amazing and when could you do without personally i couldn't get enough of the bumper cars but overall the technology still has a long way to go ahead says need to be made lyda the cables are

a nuisance and the technology is still too expensive and there are simple vyas as for your smartphone which cost only one euro but if you want something decent they had said 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 week. in real. need to know that seventy seven percent last week are younger than

six. that's me and me and you. and you know what time boyce is. on the seventy seven percent of the top three. this is where the. next d.w. . takes it personally with the wonderful people and stories that are so special are you ready. for the truth now. in sixty minutes w.
