Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Virtual reality can be used in the field of education, hospital, and airspace training, etc. For example, in the article "The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Virtual Classroom and the Role of the Teacher" by Guy Posey, Thomas Burgess, Marcus Eason, and Yawna Jones. Talks about the advantage and disadvantage of using virtual classroom. For advantage, virtual classroom can help instructor to organize the class well, in the areas of " course documents, assignments, class notes and other information." It also can save "time, gasoline, childcare and travel expenses" if virtual classroom applied to life. For disadvantage, the used of virtual classroom can cause " the lack of face to face interactions with other peers and the instructor", and sometimes there will not be an immediate feedback if they used virtual classroom. It also cause students in building their relationship with their classmate if they used internet which not much of conversation and outside activity will be taken place. Playing game and watch movie can foster our creativity, we always think and imagine what would I do if I am one of the character in the virtual setting. Sometimes, we even will learn and simulate them. These activities we do in daily basis will foster our creativity. In the future, I believe virtual world would change the real world, in a way of  how we look, smell, eat, and touch. In the article" Virtual world may impact real-world behaviour", they run the test to examine how participants react to the food they consume after they play different games, which include chilli sauce and chocolate, but they found out no mater how to arrange the dosage of the food they can't figure out those. Here, shows that these participants' flavors were affect by the game, which one of virtual setting. Therefore, we know that virtual reality can impact our sense now and will have further more in the future.
