Experiencing Virtual Reality
Tatiana: Why are you wearing those Funny goggles?
Moustafa: I’m Trying out a new kind of Virtual reality.
Tatiana: You mean like Flight simulators?
Moustafa: This is much more Sophisticated. This system creates a complete Sensory experience. I can see, hear, feel, and nearly taste this 3-D simulation.
Tatiana: I don’t see how it can do that.
Moustafa: With the help of these goggles and Headphones, this computer program Recreates what it’s like to actually be in a particular place, at a particular time. It even allows me To interact with different people and things.
Tatiana: I can see how that would be useful for Gaming, but…
Moustafa: It’s not only for gaming. It’s useful for A host of other things, including Relaxation. For instance, right now I’m experiencing what it’s like to be Outdoors with the sun Shining and the birds Chirping.
Tatiana: If you open the door, you’ll see that the sun is shining and the birds are chirping.
Moustafa: Yes, but with virtual reality, I may never have to get out of this chair again. Now isn’t that Progress?
