☆VIRTUAL REALITY IN SOCIETY☆

Medical💉
Theories of molecular and atomic manipulations that were virtually impossible to conceptualize 20 years ago are now being tested. Using special virtual reality software developed at the University of North Carolina, molecular “docking” techniques are attempted by researchers, scientists and chemists to determine chemical bonding properties. In this way, scientists can develop new molecular entities by seeing and feeling whether combinations of molecules will bond together. The simulated molecular forces are translated into physical forces that allow the operator to “feel” attraction or repulsion.

NASA✨

NASA-Ames Aerospace Human Factors Research Division has a more practical goal for virtual reality instead of virtual tourism. NASA began researching virtual realities about a decade ago. Testing fuel-flow simulators to measure fuel usage for the space shuttle is where it began. Now, NASA has by far some of the most sophisticated equipment available for creating simulations. The research being conducted by NASA will eventually help in our future exploration of the new frontier.

Simulated War and Telerobotics🤖

Like NASA, the armed forces have also been investing in simulations for decades, and now, plans have been made for an additional $500 million to be spent on virtual reality systems over the next four years. The Institute of Defense in Arlington, Virginia has been training soldiers in virtual reality tanks in a virtual Persian Gulf. For the soldiers, the feeling is that they are really there in Iraq.

Entertainment🎮

Your field of vision changes every time you move your head. You can hear your opponent when he speaks to you. Weapons fire, you run for cover while hearing something moving above you. When you look up, there in front of your very eyes is a prehistoric bird. The vision is something out of a science fiction novel, but it is real and it is one of the new forms of entertainment in Ottawa, Canada using virtual reality.
