and help in an unusual way to raise funds the annual plane. paul took place in the us at dulles international airport. and it's exactly what it sounds like. teams competed to pull in. airliner long the tarmac. the playful has been going on since 1992 and it's raised more than $3000000.00 for the special olympics, the world's largest sports organization for athletes with disabilities. coming up next, we'll look at in depth ad to virtual reality. i'm michael oke, who in berlin, thanks for watching more news at the top, the next hour with ah, how did she become adult hitler's favorite director and help me

become a forgotten film pioneer. lady hyphen style and the unknown function between hitler and hollywood. in 1932, they set out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening a film project that became a major milestone in their lives. love, seduction, and our ice cold passion starts october 8th on d. w. hanging out at the beach without needing to book a flight or hotel. sounds pretty go drive. especially if you could actually feel the water and sand a futuristic dream. well, not necessarily how good is varieties days. that's our topic on shift today. ah, ah,

i most of you know that with we are headsets, you can virtually flow through space or kill monsters. but virtual reality is about to take immersion to the next level. developers in a raised to make it even more realistic by incorporating more of our sensors like touch. the new buzzword is happy. we are picking something up with your hands, running your fingers over most of reaching out and shaking hands with someone else in the matter of us. virtual reality developers are working on making all v r experiences more immersive and thus more realistic. but this is no small feat, so a number of outstanding challenges. first and foremost is this optics. that is a fundamental issue because the way that we interact with the real world is, is driven by a server or the sensory motion system. so we are actively gathering

information from the world around as to interactions and that those, the key thing will be our to the university of chicago is even looking into so called chemical hap tics. this wearable contains an integrated mini pump, which transmits chemical substances under the skin that match a given v. our experience, the researchers have identified to find substances that cause specific sensations, all of which are said to be homeless and small doses. for full body haptic feedback company such as tesla met an amazon on developing suits so that uses can feel touch force and thermal feedback on their entire body. this would make the on training more realistic and thus better at engaging on muscle memory. but it will still take a while before such suits become readily available. it probably will be

a day where we do have to reality a displays. but in the future, go out since everybody devices a pro b as in a short short term solution to do a b, and b r one full body shoot is the task lawsuit which provides tactile feedback through electrical stimulation. it can even recreate the feeling of rain on skin or temperatures, arranging from $20.00 to $40.00 degrees celsius. that's pretty incredible, but the sued also cost several $1000.00 euros. a cheaper option. i have to gloves, like the ones being developed by meta. these simulate the feeling of pressure on your skin, which isn't just useful for playing games, but even without half thanks. current we are is already impressive. so long as you have the right equipment. games are still the largest market for v r and right

now, 40 games in which a player can move freely in the room or especially popular warmth, wind, smell, and object directions make the v r illusion. especially convincing. but v r can be used for much more, such as a museum visit, include stepping right into a painting, or a virtual vacation in spite of pandemic trouble. you can claim the famous whitman to the matter or bungee job of a new york statue of living. there are certain experiences that you can get to ritual, there would be possible and any otherwise. and those that's where i think this is an interesting sort of respect. the are the real sort of game changer getting last into a world you otherwise would not have access to v r and e r technology are becoming more interesting for other in areas such as

medicine. the tech is playing an ever larger part in education and training. the are is especially useful for practicing rear procedures or emergency responses such as a fire in a tunneled. russian academy of sciences even simulated an entire mission using theology the real value of the other thing is you, you get to experience situations that might happen during rally on the never happen in your life. so for example, senior meeting raster social cases that perhaps a surgeon my own, you have a lock rate on on was if you're able to simulate you improve intimacy is going to the game changer for, for health care. practicing operations and v r is clearly useful, but how well do surgeons learn and beyond what actually happens in our brain when

we are in a virtual world? and what other effects does be i have on the body? our brains process, real world and virtual world information. through all senses. for example, are hipaa campus is involved in spatial navigation. it creates cognitive maps that help us understand our surroundings. thus far via has been a primarily visual experience. zenith immediate access to this site is the most resourceful santos move would be. much of our brain is dedicated to processing visual information, which is why it's normally enough to create primarily visual environments auditing slides. but every one knows a real experience involves more and bouts of our brain receives input from all of our senses. and we can combine it. cuts, examine how my brain reacts to viani strongly depends on how many of our senses osteo 8 it. studies on rats showed that when they were placed in simple,

the all surroundings. only 40 percent of than euro pathways were active compared to real life. the more realistic, the v r experience, the more similar the brain activity became. in an experiment where rats were put on v r treadmills. their brain activity closely resembled brain patterns they have when they run on treadmills in real life. this shows that the more immersive be experienced, the better our in response if once we hear taste, touch and smell doesn't match what we're seeing in via then the experience feels less real and will also learn less well. nonetheless, the brain does trying to process via similarly to how it would really experiences my definition. he most of you and get him out of the brain. patterns are actually quite similar. that is, so a feeling of anxiety is process pretty much the same in a virtual ana between and the real world from fear to gratification. the

physiological responses resemble each other. oh, trait increase is skin conduct to the changes a bodies release hormones. and our rewards center is activated, virtual reality can be fun. oh, and diety inducing. there are other ways to make the are more immersive cambria meadow's new mixed reality had said into it's built in front cameras. these fill the real world and mix it with the virtual one, which can be useful for things like if you want to quickly write something down without removing the headset. i tracking is also being used more and more for this special sensors inside the head said, track where the user is located. this has a number of advantages. ah, i contact is no possible between avatars and the mit averse thanks to the latest the are headset which track users eye movement. the headsets use harmless,

infrared light to ascertain where users looking. the addition means, avatars can make eye contact. plus, operating menus are aiming at objects can now be done with i move in saloon and v r . the i tracking tech should also help speed up your game graphics. o be nose. human either this is, a vision is a low resolution. so you can approximate a computing policy, dr. brenda virtual. well, you can just render where the user is lucky and rendering right now e, i can't reliably predict where use next to currently little competing time is being seen. however, it looks like that could soon change in, so i tracking is useful, but it also has downsize, our eyes produce highly sensitive data, which can be saved, analyzed,

and sold research to say our agenda, age, weight, and even personality traits can be gleaned from i data was more they want the data can be used to predict our emotional state drug consumption habits, skills, and sexual preferences. plus, that's another problem. this tech is affected by ethnicity and it's been found to be less good, a tracking asian people's eyes. we know definitely not much of the research happens in western educated industrialized reach of countries. i'm not a bias for when you're trying to get out and technologies. medications, well, you might get lost one body pod that your developers long overlooked our legs. there was no affordable leg tracking device for a long time, but that recently changed thanks. also to kick start a campaigns even once expensive the, our treadmills are now somewhat affordable. these

b r shoes are cold. actually. they're still just the prototype, but they are the only shoot. you can walk through the metaphors. well, almost moon walking in real life. the shoes server motors go in the opposite direction to keep them crashing to a real wall. the so called cyber, she take a different approach. he was the help of the crowd funding for just a few 100 units more. you can get the swivel chair to put the food comfortable. i'll be unexpected. with it in the midst of a serious v. r gamers, me also be interested in treadmills. they provide a different level of commercial, but they're also much more expensive with a price tag of around 1200 years best and she senses practices and your security to avoid being injured in real life while you're in

e. r. for those who can't afford or don't have space for a treadmill, there's the slain v r fool body tracker is much cheaper option is probably the best value for money, but users should know it doesn't stop here. so you may want to be weary of wealth. but be careful because be our home accidents are now a thing in the u. k. the insurance company, aviva said the average b r related claim for accidental damage was around 800 euros, think smashed t v sets and they have also been serious injuries. clearly, me, our safety isn't really safe yet. but what do you think? do you have a favorite via devise? a one you'd like to see develop? do you think other dangers are bigger or do you not care about v r and preferred to focus on real life as no one youtube or by email by and see you soon?
