Modeling Reality With Virtual Worlds


These virtual worlds can be used for some as an escape from reality and to live out some of their fantasies, in a world where they’re the architect, so to speak. These worlds allow our imaginations to live out within an interactive digital boundary. A pro of the virtual world is how it can be used to in an educational setting, to simulate the projected experience for a student to learn. “No Budget, No Boundaries: It’s The Real You” the article by Eric Spangenberg speaks of how people live through their avatars by purchasing and doing things, that they’re incapable of doing in real life. Some of the cons are how time consuming it is to create, in “ Virtual Worlds May Impact Real World Behavior” , it talks about how some of the users are negligent of how this time spent with their avatars in this virtual world, will have adverse effects to their real life behavior. I think the future of virtual worlds may incorporate the use of the currently evolving technology dealing with virtual reality headsets.
