their mistakes. They may even being brainwashed into believing they can make mistakes. Therefore, using virtual reality to train is a detriment for some technological fields.I believe virtual reality will benefit our future in every field it encounters. This technology has already helped people learn so many things. For example, if someone from the state of Florida wants to learn how to ski, they can with virtual reality. They can strap on a helmet, step on to some active skis and experience reality far from any snow. If someone wants to learn how to golf without walking an entire course, virtual reality can emulate the game. I once experienced this instance of virtual reality. Golf games have been created where the user can swing and actual club and hit an actual ball into a screen in front of them. The screen is an emulation of any course in the world. After the ball hits the screen, it continues its path in the game. This game is extremely realistic, because the game reads the balls trajectory, power, direction and even spin when it is hit. I once played 18 holes at Augusta, one of the most premier courses in the world, and I didn’t even leave Ohio. These examples are just some of the possibilities virtual reality will bring to our future. Introducing virtual reality into the future will prove to be a benefit for our society. Several important issues involving virtual reality have previously been discussed. Surgery and surgical training are extremely crucial processes in which virtual reality has shown to be beneficial. Astronaut training is another critical procedure. Jim Newman, highly experienced in space, stated himself that without virtual reality it was “impossible” to train for certain events (Cox 40). Precise forecasts of the weather are not always easy. However, virtual reality has already been incorporated in the study of severe weather, giving forecasters more knowledge and the society mo...
