VIRTUAL REALITY
*) Kepada Yth Bpk. Bob Singgalingging, jika berkenan bisa melihat postingan ini yg merupakan tugas 1 mata kuliah B. Inggris 2 karena saya tidak meng-attach ke email bapak namun saya sudah posting kedalam blog dan studentsite sebelum waktu deadline. Terimakasih.
Virtual Reality or (VR) is a technology that allows users to interact with a 3-dimensional environment simulated by a computer against a real object or imagination, thus making the user appear to be physically involved in the environment. (initu.id)

Virtual Reality
became famous since it was released in late 2014 or early 2015 by Oculus Rift.
But actually Virtual Reality technology is already long discovered that is
around the 1950’s. Virtual Reality was first discovered by Morton Heilig, a
pioneer in Virtual Reality technology. In my opinion, Virtual Reality is a
technology of the future that has started from now.
Virtual Reality
technology is now a technology that is in great demand and applied by big
companies like Google, Samsung, HTC, Sony and others. Because each company has
released products related to Virtual Reality technology. Virtual reality
technology is used and utilized almost in all sector, not only applied in
mobile phones or games, this technology has also been used in the sector of
tourism, science and sports. Virtual reality technology is growing very fast,
because it is can generate big profits on a company.
1. Tourism Sector
Japanese Tour Firm
Offers Virtual Reality Holidays – with a first-class seat.
Virtual
Reality implementation in tourism sector, for example is what Japan Tour companies
do. A well-known Japan tour company located in central Tokyo offers a very nice
and exciting service concept by making a simulated flight tour that travels to
Paris, Rome, Hawaii and New York. By utilizing this Virtual Reality technology,
when we are on a simulated airplane just like on a real trip with first class
aircraft facilities. With the use of Virtual Reality technology can be able certainly
help the elderly. The elderly who want to go overseas but are not able to
easily, given their physical limitations. A real trip is a hassle to prepare
for, and expensive, and takes time. So, with the technology developed by this
company can help people who want to try the sensation of first class flights
with cheaper cost and also can shorten the time. This tool is really great, because
we never leave the ground when we are
using the tool that seems in the flight.
In
my opinion, with this tool can help many people, especially the elderly with
their physical limitations that are not possible to do long-haul flights. in
addition, for those who are busy with work, this tool can certainly help
because it does not need to prepare a long time to feel the sensation of flying
holidays with first-class flight facilities. Lastly, this technology is cheaper
than real aviation, therefore, with less economically beneficial families can
use this tool as refreshing.
2. Sport Sector
Virtual starts to
become a reality for top clubs.
Cutting
edge virtual reality technology, allowing football clubs to return players to
match situations and for the injured to get ‘match sharp’, is being tested and
used by top English and European clubs.
The
technology, developed by Manchester-based company Mi Hiepa, is currently being
employed by four Premier League clubs and teams in Italy and Germany are also
trialling the platform. For contractual and confidentiality reasons, the clubs
cannot be identified but they include some of the biggest in the Premier League
and Europe.
I
think, this is a revolutionary product that will help players come back from
injury sooner, help players be more cognitively aware, help better
decision-making on the field and prepare them for pressure situations during
games. The platform also features a series of drills which will allow players
to practise their skills, such as passing, and develop their reactions and
decision-making abilities. That could be particularly valuable to players
returning from injury lay-offs who would be able to sharpen themselves up to
match speed without the risk of physical contact.
It
is certainly unique and different, I think most coaches would see advantages,
small gains advantages, in using the system. The coaches find useful is being
able to view situations from the player’s perspective.
With
the creation of this tool certainly can help players to recovery phase after
injury. Currently, football is becoming a very popular sport in the world,
besides football is now a sport with new and modern technological facilities,
the product of Mi Heipa certainly increasingly makes football as a different
sport as it progresses.
This
tool becomes a very important role if it has been released and can be used a
lot by professional clubs in the world to process the adaptation of their
important players after injury. Injuries can definitely make players become
insecure, even when in the first game after a game injury they have not been
back on best condition. So, with this tool is expected to be a tool that helps
a lot by way of displaying a match using Virtual Reality.
Besides
being important for players as a recovery tool after injury, this technology
can also be applied to junior players or applied in club academies. It is
important because junior players need to learn more about soccer techniques and
tactics, with the Virtual Reality technology can help young players to
understand many new techniques and tactics using this tool. When looking at
instructions through the VR it is expected that players more quickly understand
what they need to become professional football players in the future.
3. Sains Sector
Virtual reality
weather add-ons let you feel the sun and wind
(https://www.newscientist.com/article/2121145-virtual-reality-weather-add-ons-let-you-feel-the-sun-and-wind/)
Ambiotherm has two components that combine with a normal VR headset. The first is a wind module that contains two fans that clip on to the bottom of a headset. This tools means can simulate the wind blowing in your face, for example, as you ski down a mountain. The second is a temperature module that attaches to the back of the neck. Like when walking through a virtual desert, we can simulate the harsh sun beating down on you.

Other
attempts to emulate environmental conditions in VR experiences normally involve
a room with fans and heat lamps dotted around, so making it compact is a big
achievement.
By
making VR more realistic it could increase the possible uses. Researchers
have already shown that VR can reduce pain, reduce fear
of death, and even help people
who are paralysed regain some feeling in their legs.
the
last one in my opinion, this tool can be used for extreme weather simulations
that occur on earth. used humans to prepare themselves in these circumstances.
so humans can estimate how great climate change is now. humans can be aware of
what they face after trying this tool.
