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?
