Virtual Reality ~

Live the real Experience ..




•Full 3D Immersion – rather than looking at the game world sitting on a monitor that’s sitting in your room you are actually in the world.  Even 2D games take up your entire peripheral vision making them immersive.
 •True 3D (for free) – Having two images allows a true stereoscopic display of the 3D world
 •Head tracking – Most VR headsets have built in head tracking which adds to the immersion.  Now you can look at the pre-pubescent kid in counter strike before he headshots you.
 •Look cool – Why wear nerdy 3D glasses when you can look like this:


It’s best suited to the following games:
  • Flight Sims
  • First-Person Shooters
  • Racing Games
  • Sport Games
VR also opens up the possibility of relaxation and full emersion games that aren’t possible with regular monitors. This might sound a little hippie like, but I can see some great opportunities in games for children in hospitals and rehabilitation from injuries.

Expermental Method

The Expermental Method is usually used in researches that need an observation for an assertion made by a theory and to predict, verify, or refute it.
 The scientific method
In fact it goes through 4 stages :

Theory

Scientific method theory
All about facts and prooved ideas, that you are going to build a predection on it

Prediction

Scientific method theory
Based on what you know about something, what do you think will happen if the conditions are different?
No effect? strong effect? Something in between these two extremes?
You cannot be certain about the prediction validation. We must test our prediction.

Experiment

Scientific method theory

Make an experiment to verify the assumptions or one of them.
(Record the number for your submission of results.)

Observations

Scientific method theory

Observations should be taken daily and recorded accurately in order to be analysed. Anecdotal information that might prove to be useful later when the analysis of the data takes place should be noted (e.g. accidents, mistakes...etc.).

I can use this methodolgy in the field of human factors and wayfinding which I use to do in college.
