Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds
Virtual worlds can be used to do things you may have never thought of in real life. For example, in the video "A Second Life on Second Life," the woman is able to do things such as ride horses and walk in the virtual world, meanwhile in real life she is not able to because she has sclerosis. However, while virtual worlds may give people access to things they can't do in real life, it is artificial. While technology has surely advanced in recent decades, with products such as VR and AR, there is still a way to go till it very closely resembles real life. Virtual worlds are also becoming more popular as people have easier access to them. While its not as recent anymore, The Office, which is still a really popular show, talked about the virtual world "Second Life," as seen in the video "Another Day at the SL Office[2007]."
