This is an excellent use because one could perform the operation over and over without the worry of hurting any human life. However, this sort of practice may have its limitations because of the fact that it is only a virtual world. At this time, the computer-user interfaces are not well enough developed and it is estimated that it will take 5 to 10 years to develop this technology.The book Virtual Reality & Beyond states that NASA built a complete model of the surface of the moon to train the crew on landing techniques. The same crews were subjected to emergencies in the simulator and were given grades on how they handled themselves. The emergencies that were simulated were like the ones seen in the movie Apollo 13. Architectural designers have also found that virtual reality can be useful in visualizing what their buildings will look like when they are put together. A lot of times, using a two dimensional diagram to represent a 3D home is confusing. The people that fund large projects would like to be able to see what they are paying for, before it is constructed. An example, which is fascinating, would be that of designing an elementary school. Designers could walk in the school from a child’s point of view to gain insight on how high the water fountains are, or how narrow the halls are.The entertainment industry stands to gain a lot from VR. With the video game revolution of bigger and better games coming out all the time, this could be the biggest breakthrough ever. It would be fantastic to have sword fights, which actually feel real. Virtual movies, also called vroomies, are being developed and allow the viewer to interact with the characters in the movie. Sources show that Universal Studios and other parks are developing a virtual reality amusement park, which will incorporate these game...
