Something New: Virtual Reality

        Recently, there has been an uproar in the technology world. Virtual Reality. This new idea is spreading all over different countries. This article gives examples of different virtual reality simulators and how they benefit our world today.
What is Virtual Reality? It is an environment generated by a computer. This allows one to experience different realities. It can visually separate one from their current environment. Virtual Reality can bring one to the Franklin Institute or swim in the Great Barrier Reef. One can do all of this through a Virtual Reality device.
Many Tech-Giant companies have began to build and sell these devices. Google has come out with the Google Cardboard, which is the cheapest VR device on the market. All one has to do is download the app on his or her’s phone and attach it to the VR device. From this that person can experience a whole new world. Other companies like HTC, Oculus, Samsung, and Sony have also released VR devices.
How can Virtual Reality benefit our world today? There are many ways. In the artistry and design areas, one could use VR to make designs without picking up a single tool. In the educational areas, VR can model advanced concepts and can take students on virtual field trips.
In conclusion, VR is a new advance in the technology world. It will certainly be used in many ways to benefit our world today, such as education and art. Also it will expose people different parts of the world. And last of all. It is fun to use. Virtual Reality is a new and exciting experience for people in our world today.
