Virtual reality
Virtual reality
I went to the museum of the future the other day, and had a really physical experience in a virtual reality. We went into the cave, a special cube, where with special glasses one could see projections three dimensional. Those are use for architecture so the architect can demonstrate his house from all sides three dimensions.
I just stood there, and all those trees where coming towards me, almost hitting me, that was still ok, but when we started to go through winding tunnels and up some stairs my stomach started to feel really sick, like I was in an elevator. And after the program was over, I wasn’t sure whether the guy next to me was real or part of the projection. Can I touch him?
Is that all my eyes do? Convert electronic impulses into the perception of three- dimensionality. And that is what I call my world, my reality? There are beings that can’t see three dimensionally, and also when blind people start to see again, they have difficulty and are confused about depth. So is the world three dimensional or does my brain make that up? I started to question everything and had a complete new view of everything. I did hear all of that before and thought about it, But never before did I have a physical experience of something that did not even happen. Although when I go with it all the way than that is the only thing that ever happens to me.
That’s funny, because as humans we react to everything and justify our reaction through our perception. According to that we get angry, afraid or feel unfairly treated, but still it’s just electronic impulses in our brain. The scientific world is full of proof that this world is not real. Almost everyone knows that, or has heard about it. I don’t think it is a matter of proof rather than action and including yourself into it. This is about you and your world. It is like, yes, the proof is there – but now what? What am I going to do about it, or with it? What are you going to do?
