P1. If pleasure is what we value most and we will experience more pleasure by doing x rather than doing y, then we should do x over y P2. We will experience more pleasure by plugging into the Experience Machine than not plugging into the Experience Machine C1: If all that matters to us is maximising pleasure then we should want to plug into the experience machine. (P1&P2) P3. We have reason to not want to plug into the Experience Machine C2. Therefore, experiencing as much pleasure as possible…

4.3. Intelligent surface ecosystem The startup Cube was created to develop and commercialize a type of technological platform with the purpose to transform some surfaces (e.g. tables, walls) into a computer interface, like a touch screen. To do so, the entrepreneurs decided to build a complex ecosystem. First, they formed a network of application developers. Second, they also created a network of two start-ups, a R&D lab and a partnership with an established firm for developing the hardware…

1 INTRODUCTION Virtual Reality is a way for humans to visualise, manipulate and interact with computers and highly complicated data (Kushner 2016). In addition, this visualisation refers to the computer developing visual, auditory and other sensual outputs to the user of a world within the computer (Kushner 2016). Also, this world may be scientific simulation, or a look into a database, the user is able to collaborate with the world and directly manipulate objects within the world, where…

What is virtual reality (VR)? Virtual reality is the simulation of a three-dimensional environment with the use of technology that can be interacted with by a person using a medium, such as a headset with a screen inside. As we understand and feel the world through our senses, which mainly includes sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell, VR equipment provides us with sensory information, most commonly sight and hearing through monitors and headsets to create a reality in which people can be…

Virtual environment allows the user to interact with the computer simulation environment, where the user experience is the interaction between the real and the imagined. Augmented reality and virtual reality technology enhanced mixing two. Virtual enhanced by combining real objects and computer data, virtual items will be generated in reality. This means that the user can see coexist in the same space of virtual and real objects. But just let enhancement technology of virtual items appear in…

I remember a time where virtual reality didn 't exist and the most we had was 3D, a time when people drove themselves. A time where I taught myself how to rollerblade, and with a fearless attitude I felt the world was mine to conquer. The energetic and skirmish seven year old child in me was always coming up with new and better ways to defy the odds and break barriers. At the time, I lived in a small blue house located at the bottom of a slope on the corner of Texas Street and Madison Avenue in…

Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash delves into the themes of access to information and control through the usage of virtual realities. While some people might fear that technology produces an overflow of information, virtual realties offers its users connection to knowledge and people that would otherwise be impossible. In addition, the Metaverse within Snow Crash creates a world separate from reality that provides people with the ability to create avatars and decide on how people view one’s own…
