What Is Virtual Reality?

Night baseball games are pretty common nowadays but that wasn't always the case. Naturally, human beings tend to take for granted things that are common today but were practically a luxury in the past. That’s what this article is about: to show the evolution of this wonderful sport and how lighting technology played a crucial role in allowing baseball to remain one of the most popular sports in the country!

In “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradbury, the parents, George and Lydia, are to criticize for their own annihilation. The Veldt is a story about how virtual reality had a deficient influence on a family. This family moved into a house with an excessive load of technology. Everyday the children, Wendy and Peter, would go to the nursery and wreckage around with the virtual reality. They spent hours and sometimes even days in there. After a while they got incredibly addicted to the VR and never interacted with their own family. Then, this provoked them to eventually eradicate their parents because they treasured virtual reality to a higher degree than their own family.

Data output refers to the display or presentation of data employing commonly used output formats that include maps, graphs, reports, tables, and charts, either as a hard-copy, as an image on the screen, or as a text file that can be carried into other software programs for further analysis.

Oculus VR is an American virtual reality technology company founded by Palmer Luckey and Brendan Iribe. Their first product, still in development, is the Oculus Rift, a head mounted display for immersive virtual reality (VR). It reads as both “O” and as the viewfinder (that the probably don’t even call it that) of the Oculus. It’s as simple as it gets and it’s still highly distinctive. It’s extremely elegant but also very bold it’s like snowboarding in a tuxedo. The wordmark, which looks like a customized version, of every

What is the barrier to representing data geographically, and what should be done to overcome that barrier?

This is an interactive website used to explore the Oregon Trail. Students open the page to a map of the U.S. in 1843. Students can click on any landmark to learn more about the landmark and see photographs of each place. I would use this as an interactive extension, as well as a computer lab activity for a day. Students would take notes over the landmarks they saw and learned about and refer back to their notes when they create their final unit project. It can be accessed here:

Dr. William Harvey Dobelle made the first functioning bionic eye by a brain implant although limited it’s better than no sight at all. He is also known for the breathing pacemaker which is the only FDA approved device for phrenic nerve pacing. I chose this inventor because I thought it is cool to be able to have the ability to see without your natural eye or eyes.

The first patent for a machine emulating an escalator was granted to a Jesse Reno in 1859 for a steam-powered moving stairway, otherwise known as an 'inclined elevator.' In 1895, Reno created a ride

When education is discussed a big part of it is planning for the future. When this is being done it is important to think about how technology will come along. The book Fahrenheit 451 has a theme that is based on fireman who start fires rather then put them out and they do this by burning books. This book was written more than a decade ago. Some aspects of the theme of the book have come true. People are too busy with their lives to have human interaction, this could include being tied up with loud music, wall TV’s, fast cars and so much more. Kids now a days are reading books on tablets or IPADS, or eBooks or not reading books at all and there is a lot of censorship that takes place in regards to schools that are starting to ban certain

The influenza pandemic was devastating among those infected and was responsible for the death of 675,000 Americans and 50 million people all over the world in 1918. As a result of this devastation, vaccines were formulated to prevent future outbreak of deadly and viral diseases, some becoming required by law. However, today many people have decided to boycott any form of vaccination whether it be for their children, or even their pets, due to the modern theory that they may weaken new immune systems. History has proven over time that vaccinations are absolutely effective in preventing dangerous strains of illnesses while saving countless lives since their creation and should be given to all children and at-risk adults.

The film industry utilizes this technology in ways such as special effects, animations and the creation of characters. The beginnings of the increasing use of computers to create images in Hollywood can be traced back to the 1970s, such as special effects in 1973’s Westworld, a film of the sci fi genre, in which a two minute long sequence used the pixelization process, a computer generated effect still used to this date. It has been theorized that this movie, despite its low budget, offset the start of the CGI “revolution.”(http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/how-michael-crichtons-westworld-pioneered-modern-special-effects) A major turning point in cinema CGI was in the 1982 sci fi Disney movie, Tron. For this movie, a sequence lasting twenty minutes of 3 dimensional graphics was created, yet due to the movie’s lacklustre earnings at the box office coupled with its expensive production costs, much of Hollywood was discouraged from furthering the CGI movement. (https://design.osu.edu/carlson/history/lesson14.html) In addition to this, despite the amount of promise the use of computers in creating effects, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences thought this to be “cheating”, and Tron failed to receive a nomination for the special effects catgeory. (http://www.computerworld.com/article/2542266/computer-hardware/q-a--john-knoll-on-cgi--tron-and-25-years-of-change.html) The opinion of the academy mirrored the opinions of the majority of not only Hollywood but the general public as

What made this engineer distinctive was his unique eyewear. Geordi is blind, but he is equipped with a visual aid called VISOR (Visual Instrument and Sensory Organ Replacement). With the use of his VISOR, Geordi can see all over the electromagnetic spectrum. In 2005, Scientist at Stanford University design of an “optoelectronic retinal prosthesis system that can stimulate the retina with resolution corresponding to a visual acuity of 20/80.” The implants would be placed behind the retina. Then the patient would wear a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera. An infrared LED image on the inside of the glasses is broadcasted when light enters the camera and is processed through a small wireless computer. And the retina chips will be able to stimulate photodiodes when the images are reflected back. The photodiodes “replicate the lost retinal cells then change light into electrical signals which in turn send nerve pulses to the brain.” This can lead to a blind person living independently because it enables the user to recognize faces, read larger fonts, and orient the hem toward objects. The hope for the device is to someday bring vision back to individuals who are blind because of retinal

You want to see rewards commensurate with your actions, and you want to see the world change based on what you’ve done. A Virtual Reality Game should offer you many ways to reach its many endings, and each should be equally valid and important, honestly reflecting the choices you’ve made.

Virtual worls. Virtual worlds are now being used to aid in danger scenarios to combat urban warfare.

But what makes people more nervous is the idea that this technology allows us to categorize and reduce everything around us to information and take away the realness of the world. If you look at the history of the web and industry of film and any of the media we are used to, we don’t really understand what they are good for, until lots of gifted professionals, had vision and ideas to start experiment in those. They couldn’t predict YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon and all other different sites. So the same thing is going to be true for augmented reality. Until we get it out there, we want relay know what the technology is good for. Whether it’s a mundane or practical application like instructions in a piece of equipment or medical information of a patient or something more a little complex like taking situational awareness information presenting it to a soldier or to a police men, augmented reality seems to have such a great advance impact in technology and has become an important aspect of
