Week 3 Discussion

Discussion Question: Virtual Reality and Its Importance

Imagine being able to visit a faraway city—or even outer space—without leaving your living room. Virtual reality (VR) makes this possible by creating realistic, immersive environments that you can see and interact with. While it’s often used for entertainment, such as video games, VR is also being developed for more serious applications like architectural design, vehicle prototyping, military training, and medical education.

Developing VR technology requires the use of graphs, mathematical relationships, and modeling of realistic environments.

For this discussion, respond to the following:

• Do you think it is important to continue developing realistic virtual reality technology?
• Why or why not?
• Give at least one example of how VR could benefit a specific industry or field.

Be sure to reply to at least two of your classmates’ posts with thoughtful comments or questions.
