Why are you intrigued by virtual reality?

Virtual Reality opens many avenues to innovations that can be used for business, health, government, and many other sectors. If implemented correctly, they can bring many benefit to a society.

Virtual reality provides a great platform to bring imagination into real life. It allows people to immerse themselves into a virtual world for a moment. I used the google cardboard to watch a short horror video clip and it was amazing!

I feel that virtual reality will not play a big role in my life. However, it has the ability to enhance any interaction one has with technology and it can be a game changer in the field of education, where we could use it to understand complex concepts that need imagination.

The term virtual reality seems like an oxymoron to me. Because the virtual world is not real at all but might be a mere simulation of our imagination. What intrigues me the most about this is that we can enjoy moments in this reality that might be impossible to even think about in the real world.

Virtual Reality allow us to create our own world without limiting our imagination. It can also let us actually be there to experience the virtual world. It will be a new mode to experience a video, game or artwork.

We can almost do anything that goes beyond our imagination, anything that we may not do in our real world. Yet, the feel can be very concrete, or even more fun than real world. I hope to understand the principle and create something innovation from this course

Virtual Reality allows us to use our imagination to create various interesting world.

Virtual Reality is actually a world that allow people to explore their imagination and put them in work, making it become a "reality". It allows us to do what we could not do in the real life or make things that do not exit in reality so that we could explore our creativity. Furthermore, we could actually create our own dream world with this advanced 3D technology. And that is why I am so intrigued in virtual reality and would like to create a VR world with my imagination and creativity.

it can achieve something that the real world cannot give. if the virtual reality is real enough that we cannot differentiate, it can be a potential place of cognitive matrix to explore the unconsciousness.

As many others have mentioned, VR has great potential, but the point that fascinates me the most is its flexibility/malleability in terms of how it could be used. First, it could recreate our current reality (i.e. VR field trips, VR flight training, preservation of relics/cultural heritage etc). It could create an augmentation of reality (i.e. visualizing future construction on currently vacant land, planning revitalization of buildings), but it could also create an entirely fictional reality (VR games, entertainment). Thinking about this makes me feel like VR creates another realm of human existence that we create with technology, and when the technology matures, that realm could feel insanely real.

Virtual reality allow us to ignore most of the physical constraints in the realistic world. We can experience many dangerous environment safely in a virtual world. Besides, virtual reality let us get in touch with the things that only exist in our imagination. For example, we cannot totally immerse in Harry Potter's magic world without VR technology.

Virtual reality can show us the things which cannot be seen anymore (e.g. extinct species) which is mesmorizing. Besides, VR in the future may provide the opportunity for patient with physical disability to experience things which his or her which are limited by the health issue concern

I become interested in VR ever since I have tried on a device which plays 360 videos. I was amazed by how real it was. It was like that I was actually surfing / skiing in a real setting. You can actually feel the height while skiing and the waves coming at you while you are surfing. VR gives us a chance to experience all kinds of things that you may not be able to / you don't have the courage to try in real life. Moreover, VR provides us an opportunity to immerse in a completely virtual world, for instance we can become our favorite film characters such as iron man, harry potter. By using VR, we can experience the life that we have dreamt of, like controlling iron man's armour, joining in an Quidditch match etc. The use of VR has so many possibilities and I can't wait to discover more about it and learn how it works.

Virtual Reality is a sector which has not been explored to its fullest. There is so much potential in this field which can be harnessed to improve our lifestyles exponentially. With virtual reality people can get a taste of life which they could not have afforded. we can travel places without even moving an inch from our bed and experience all the beautiful places all around the globe. It is a toy for people of all age groups. i feel that in the coming future this would change the face of the world we are living in.

I was amazed by the virtual experience and the discussion about the depth of reality in a film called The Matrix and I find VR technology resembles a lot to it. It is mesmerizing to discover more on the topic regarding its impacts on our perception of what is truly "real".

Virtual Reality is a fantastic technology that immerses people in a simulated world but it gives a very genuine experience and feeling. This technology is a great contribution to us. People can use VR for many purposes such as military training, building design, education, etc. Besides practical use, we can use VR to create some scenes which are impossible. This can inspire creativity and let people feel the imagination and future. I believe VR will be applied in more situations and lead human development.

VR allows me to predict what may happen in the future, like zombie apocalypse. It also helps people to work more effectively, for example we can make a factory model, so that we can know how the factory and machines work from just the VR, which I think is very awesome and amazing.

I am really intrigued by the potential of virtual reality in the future as the development of virtual reality is at the early stage (although it has been developed for a long time). From 3D movies and 360 movies to 3D worlds that can be entered by audiences, I seriously believe that the developers and scientists are not satisfied by these only. Perhaps in the future, 3D objects in the virtual world can have textures and they can be held by hands, just like the one in Iron Man :)

In the real world,we are restricted by lots of limitations like physics and limited resources.However,a virtual world allows us to set our own rules and be anyone or anything,which is fascinating.

It helps people feel as if they are in a real world where they have the freedom to interact with or sometimes manipulate whats's around them. It's as if you are superheroes, because in virtual reality you can create anything, go anywhere and become anyone.
