it was fast and everyone knew it but. a whack of water is equally dangerous. they sound good people move south so they can plant crops in trying to meet. floods and droughts climate change become the main driver of mass migration you couldn't write any apocalyptic scenarios you want and probably most of them to come to. the climate exodus starts if you're thirty years on t w. virtual reality has been promising a new and bigger adventures for years dream trips from the comforts of our homes. exciting fun and thrills galore but what is the reality of virtual 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 culture potatoes right wrong you can also used to work up a sweat by boxing for example slip on the head said 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 b.r. 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 but that they are headset 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.

are 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 norham burgers offering we are 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. poke a let's dive in in vietnam looks count resolution and image quality are crucial when it comes to graphics as is field of vision the one to the field the more intense the experience. another decisive factor is how well the old 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 in. these full shape sensors are used in optical tracking the sensors 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 wii on bumper cars the driver in car off it is with fourteen senses and they use this position instructed by thirty two infrared cameras the aim is to minimize latency the delay between real life action unfits will 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. develop those not also working on adding more senses to the virtual reality experience like feeling when taste and smell that would make the experience more

authentic and of course multi-user apps liven up the surroundings. i was pretty terrified driving a bump. but it was really one of my best experience. with. every movement. without. but not this time. how the brain reacts to what happens exactly when i move in a. direction for instance. from the. twenty physics.

brain perceives. reality. strongest. part of our brain is dedicated to image processing. it is enough to rely on visuals alone to create a surround. there's more to genuine experience. different inputs from our senses to create the whole reality. when it comes to brain studies with when the. activity. the better the experience the more it generates neural firing patterns. the rats were placed on the treadmill which meant they had to move and balance as a result of the rats brains showed similar neural representational space in the

virtual real world we use a lot of sensory clues to navigate. studies show that beyond needs to include. not just. your sound taste and touch of missing from the v.a.r. 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. a similar psychological responses triggered. rate increases. conductivity changes. in the reward center is activated we can be scared own rewarded in. real life. the porn industry is often quick to use new technologies

and we are is no exception but one company in north america has a registered over twenty million downloads from its range since twenty eight to the gaming platform steam also does a large part of its business with offerings but what is virtual six like a tester reports. so i'm sitting in a living room like i actually. feel as if i were actually inside to feel. 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 . future run against an internet pioneer. phone sees a time when we will become so united with the tech that there will be

a paradigm shift. very where people would prefer sex it referred certainly rather were never to be ratified your life. does not change. he was underwhelmed by the experience. 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 things but there's nothing there for you this is 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 the are which is usually more interactive but tourism industry has shown great interest in the technology to operators in the u.s. state of nevada have tested we are travel advertising with success. on n.p.r. headsets and you can be off to a far away land. you can instantly be in the volga doesn't matter where you were before. there are even apps with which she can book the matching flights from the comfort of your view all setting g.o.c. also. make sure you do it with amazing precisely i was the model for. those you hesitate to travel can experience the world for. paris is. an installation called wild in motion

it brings visitors even closer to the wild animals than african safaris 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 wildlife in the ocean with chimpanzees and be amazed that visitors curiosity is a rationalist and they learn by seeing and being that this is another potential application. is dontcha balance three hundred sixty degree and eight tenths of us all around the gym in unesco world heritage sites what's that she will tools. 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 are when is it amazing and when could

you do without first. 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 now simple of ya says 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 say your next we meet.
