so now on behalf of the whole team thanks so much for watching you stay with us. what's the connection between bread. and the european union dinos guild matter to you correspondent adam baker stripes this vacuum lines are the rules set by the new deal. stepping recipes for success strategies that make a difference. baking bread on d.w.

. the food the. virtual reality has been promising 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 eighty in the global view 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 use the art 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 make up artist. virtual reality boxing training. and we 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 p.r. . 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 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 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 still look pixilated to really work the software needs to respond to my actions immediately and right now that's often aleck. and amusement park north of norham burgers offering we are bumper cars. all over the world.

i went there for a test drive and to find out what technology goes into making the perfect be our experience. ok next dive 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 your figure head tracking is really important for how you move your head and whether matches your position and view in the virtual world to. full shape sensors on 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 the drive one can offer to do with fourteen senses and the uses 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 experience like feeling wind or taste and smell that would make the experience more authentic and of course multi-user apps to liven up the actual surroundings. i was pretty terrified driving a bump. but it was really one of my best experiences with. every movement. without.

but not this time. world of science. how the brain reacts to what happens exactly when i move in virtual reality. direction for instance. experiences from the real. when the physics. become. this is the brain perceives. reality we. are stronger. a large 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 that when the. activity. sixty percent. the more it generates neural firing patterns. brain activation. the rats were placed on the spherical treadmill which meant they had to move and balance as a result 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 of missing from the v.a.r. experience the illusion is weakened. even so the brain treats real life and simulation similarly. the patterns of how the brain responds are similar our

brain will process fear in a similar way whether i'm in real life or of your setting. a similar psychological response is 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 we are is no exception the point company in north america has 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 and i'm sitting in a living room like i actually am feel as if i were actually inside the field. like

i'm part of it. as. the girl sitting on me right now. she's right here you know here. could be the next sexual revolution health clip 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 singularity. very where people would prefer sex it referred section to gratify were never to be ratified 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 like you're moving to touch something with your eyes closed things but there's nothing there for you than this and what's really missing is real life emotions looking at what. 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. slip on a v.a.r. headset and you can be off to a far away land. you can instantly be in nevada 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's. g.c. also. i sure do know that with amazing precisely because i was under water for. those you hesitate to travel can experience the world for. paris's. hosts an installation called while in motion it brings visitors even closer to the wild animals than african safari without disturbing real animals in their natural habitat. 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 see breasts and be amazed that is it is curiosity is a rationalist and they learn by seeing and being that this is another potential

application and that is don't you balance three hundred sixty degree and up. tanks of us all around the gym and unesco world heritage sites what's that she will to this person or 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 of all 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 they had said alone costs one hundred ninety nine euros what do you think join our
