Experiencing Virtual Reality
Tatiana: Why are you wearing those funny goggles 1?
Moustafa: I’m trying out a new kind of virtual reality.
Tatiana: You mean like flight simulators?
Moustafa: This is much more sophisticated. This system creates a complete sensory 2 experience. I can see, hear, feel, and nearly taste this 3-D simulation.
Tatiana: I don’t see how it can do that.
Moustafa: With the help of these goggles and headphones, this computer program recreates what it’s like to actually be in a particular place, at a particular time. It even allows me to interact with different people and things.
Tatiana: I can see how that would be useful for gaming, but...
Moustafa: It’s not only for gaming. It’s useful for a host of other things, including relaxation 3. For instance, right now I’m experiencing what it’s like to be outdoors with the sun shining and the birds chirping 4.
Tatiana: If you open the door, you’ll see that the sun is shining and the birds are chirping.
Moustafa: Yes, but with virtual reality, I may never have to get out of this chair again. Now isn’t that progress?
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- Skiers wear goggles to protect their eyes from the sun.滑雪者都戴上护目镜使眼睛不受阳光伤害。
- My swimming goggles keep steaming up so I can't see.我的护目镜一直有水雾，所以我看不见。
- Human powers of sensory discrimination are limited.人类感官分辨能力有限。
- The sensory system may undergo long-term adaptation in alien environments.感觉系统对陌生的环境可能经过长时期才能适应。
- The minister has consistently opposed any relaxation in the law.部长一向反对法律上的任何放宽。
- She listens to classical music for relaxation.她听古典音乐放松。
