There are a bunch of advantages that VR provides which is already noticeable in the fields of medicine, law enforcement, architecture and aviation (“Pros and Cons,” n.d.). In those fields they use simulators to recreate real-life situations to better prepare for emergencies and other field work. For example, a pilot can practice flying by using a VR simulator and never have to actually leave the ground. In this case, the user would sit in “a hydraulically operated mockup of a real cockpit” combined with VR screens/projections that, during use, causes the user to “feel actual forces as it tips and tilts” …show more content…

VR can be a very powerful tool for physicians when it comes to patient rehabilitation. For instants, a study has shown that “combining VR with treadmill use, or other mechanical assistance, can increase stroke patients’ walking speed and distance on even ground” (Yin, Hsueh, Yeh, Lo, & Lan, 2016, p. 2). One of the most important objectives for the rehabilitation process is to restore a participant’s walking ability. After having a stoke, “there is a wide demand for rehabilitation of neurological deficits” (Prochnow et al., 2013, p. 1441). In this case, strokes resulting in hemiparesis, which is the “weakness of the entire left or right side of the body” (“Neuro-Sweet’s Disease: A Neurological Variant,” n.d.), can cause permanent disability if not treated the right …show more content…

This is most commonly achieved by using VR combined with a Head-Mounted Display (HMD), which usually comprises of two screens (one for each eye), stereo sound, and even sensory gloves (Woodford, 2015). One example of this would be the Google Cardboard, Google’s easily affordable IVR technology currently out on the market, which allows a person to hook-up their smartphone to the Cardboard HMD, place it on the front of their head, and use it as a VR simulator, allowing a person to explore 3D worlds and play games through the Google Cardboard

TAY SACHS DISEASE: Tay-Sachs disease is a rare autosomal recessive disease which causes a gradual impairment of nerve cells and of mental and physical capabilities. The disease occurs when harmful amounts of cell membrane component called as gangliosides accumulate in the nerve cells of brain. People suffering from Tay-Sachs disease do not have a specific enzyme called hexosaminidase A (Hex-A). The deficiency of this enzyme causes a fat, GM2 ganglioside, to accumulate in the brain. It is this accumulation that causes the symptoms of Tay-Sachs.

Flight simulators were designed to give flight crews in training the ability to have on hand, clear knowledge and the feel of the operation of an aircraft, and to experience (on deck) some of the conditions that they may encounter in the air. Having the training done via a simulator takes away the risks of possible mistakes that could affect others and or the aircraft (Wise, Hopkin & Garland 2010). Where the military use a more grandeur simulator for their training, due to the kind of situations they have to endure, for example; surface to air missiles, communication jamming to name a few that could happen during enemy attacks. Commercial use much less sophistication in simulators as they will not generally face enemy attacks.
