VIRTUAL REALITY

 

What Is Virtual Reality?




Virtual reality refers to a computer-generated simulation in which a person can interact within an artificial three-dimensional environment using electronic devices. In this simulated artificial environment, the user is able to have a realistic-feeling experience. This is what makes virtual reality perfect. There are lots of advantages of virtual reality. Firstly, virtual reality creates an immersive artificial world that can seem quite real, via the use of technology. Furthermore, through a virtual reality viewer, users can look up, down, or any which way, as if they were actually there. Finally, virtual reality has many use-cases, including entertainment and gaming, or acting as a sales, educational, or training tool.

The concept of virtual reality is based on the natural combination of two words: the virtual and the real. The former means "nearly" or "conceptually," which leads to an experience that is near-reality through the use of technology. It creates and serves up virtual worlds that are experienced by users who wear hardware devices such as goggles, headphones, and special gloves. Together, the user can view and interact with the virtual world as if from within.

The simplest example of virtual reality is a three-dimensional movie. Using special 3D glasses, one gets the immersive experience of being a part of the movie. For instance, we all know ghost trains. When we get on them, we feel the horror as if there are really horrible creatures which appear in front of us. Essentially, the light and sound effects of it make our vision and hearing senses believe that it's all happening right in front of us, though nothing exists in physical reality.

SECOND LIFE

Resim
  Second Life  is a three-dimensional virtual, online world where users create avatars that can travel to worlds and lands, participate in role-playing games, create and sell products, and socialize with other Second Life residents. New Second Life users select their avatars from generic male and female templates (residents and their avatars don't necessarily share the same gender). Although a resident could use an unmodified template, everyone else would know that he or she was a new user who doesn't know how things work. Most residents customize their avatars a little before leaving Orientation Island. One important factor in avatar customization is the inventory. The inventory holds hair, skin, objects, animations, and body parts and has an infinite capacity. A user can open his or her inventory and choose to put on or remove items, like clothing or hairstyles. Residents can add to an avatar's inventory at any time, creating a practically limitless numbe...

MAYER'S COGNITIVE THEORY OF MULTIMEDIA LEARNING

Resim
                 Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning Firstly, let's get to know about the multimedia principle. The multimedia principle states that “people learn more deeply from words and pictures than from words alone”.  However, simply adding words to pictures is not an effective way to achieve multimedia learning.  The goal is to instructional media in the light of how the human mind works.  This is the basis for Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning.  This theory proposes three main assumptions when it comes to learning with multimedia: There are two separate channels known as auditory and visual for processing information. And, it is also referred to as Dual-coding Theory, Each channel has a limited capacity, Learning is an active process of filtering, selecting, organizing, and integrating information based upon prior knowledge. Humans can only process a finite amount of information in a chan...

Users drag terms on top of their associated definitions to remove them from the grid and try to clear the grid in the fastest time possible. personally, I used to have this application back then when I was at the period...
