Many people are intrigued by the new game but few are still wondering if the game will stay compelling to…

field of expertise. As a college student, I never would have thought about the benefits of a field trip being writing and making the students feel important through asking questions. The difference between the two field trips were with the virtual reality there was more of a choice. Whereas, the students in the 70's went on walks, and the teacher just happened to see the Tailor. I think both of the experiences were…

artists have attempted to stretch the capabilities of the medium to extreme degrees. 360-video, or arguably simply virtual reality, has started to take content-sharing websites by storm and a few storytellers that are ahead of the curve have already started adapting their stories into the virtual reality realm in order to take full advantage of this new technology. Virtual reality seems destined to be the next big evolution in video games, however with film there are many problems that are…

The hoverboard is a fairly new invention and has been known by many names, such as the hoverboard, sagway, and self-balancing board. Hoverboard looks very similar to a typical skateboard, in the respect that it operates on two wheels (See Figure 1). However, unlike a typical skateboard, hoverboards operate electronically instead of manually. Since the appearance of hoverboards in the feature film Back to The Future, hoverboards have been a futuristic fantasy for millions across the world. Once…

playing the game could get kidnapped, if they’re paying too much attention on their phones. People can also risk their lives from playing the game because they could get run over by cars in the streets because they aren’t paying any attention in reality and it could be unhealthy for kids brain.

with a moral story in themselves. The shadows in the real world are flawed reflections of ideal forms such as, roundness or beauty. The cave leads to many essentials including the roots of knowledge, the problem of representation, and the nature of reality itself. For one the ideal form exists in the mind of the creator and for another the theory illustrates the categorizing of factual things under philosophical terms, and for others some of us still wonder if we can really know if things…

the rest of humanity. His perceived reality was not actual, he has been deceived. The Matrix has created a false reality for him. Only once he has been given a pill is he able to awaken from his dream state and enter the ‘real world’ (Matrix Film, 1999). In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave humanity is chained in a cave, facing a wall. Their only perception of what is real is in the shadows that play out in front of them. For them nothing else exists. This is reality. When one of the prisoners…

Is Reality Affected By the Passing of Time? Technology has come a long way in the past decade. It has helped humanity evolve faster than ever. However, not everything about technology is great. Technology has affected the way that humans perceive reality now. It gives people the wrong idea of how the real world works by creating a world that people can easily adjust to. In this essay, I argue that the virtual world lowers your expectations of the real world, that using technology connects and…

missing out on all the things happening behind them, like the fire and the puppets. What they can see and hear are shadows and echoes. When the prisoners tried to get out of the cave, they couldn’t face the real world; they had mistaken appearance for reality. Like the prisoners in the Allegory, my cave was social media. Eliminating social media enlightened me to become mentally and physically healthier, a happier person, and a socially confident speaker. Deleting social media has made me…

Virtual Reality Put on these goggles, go nowhere, and be transported anywhere – Virtual Reality. Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is created with software and presented to the user in such a way that the user suspends belief and accepts it as a real environment. It is all about sensory experience, which includes virtual taste, sight, sound, smell, and touch. The origin of the term "virtual reality" can be traced back to the French playwright, poet, actor, and director Antonin…
