The Oculus Rift (Entry #3)

                 Hello world, today I want to discuss with you a  about a new technology that is still being developed and I believe those who are video game fans will love it. Ladies and gentlemen I present you the oculus rift. It is a headset video gaming virtual reality device. This technology will bring new experience to the eyes of all videogamers. For example,  Normally a PC videogamer  would use a normal display screen to play a first person game like Dead Island; however, with the oculus rift a person would experience a 3D-world where he/she can play the game from their point of view(if we are talking about first person games). What is interesting about the oculus rift is instead of using a mouse or a joystick analog stick to to look around your game, you can use your head to look around. Imagine yourself playing a game like Dead Island which is a zombie game and you are in a scenario where you are running from the zombies and you can look turn your had to the back while running and actually see the running behind you. 

                I have another reason why I really wanted to share this technology with you people in general not just videogamers. By watching the video above, you can realize that the oculus rift can be used for other advantages. Since we are talking about a virtual reality device, which is something that can give us an experience near to reality, where else and how are we gonna use it for different purposes other than gaming?

I believe a device like this one can help us over come phobias like being afraid of heights . We can use the oculus rift on a simulator that puts you on position where you are standing on an object that is higher than the ground and training your brain to get used to that position. Lately, a lot of driving school simulators had been coming out, the oculus rift will definitely help those who are new to driving and even help those who have fear of driving. I believe that the oculus rift is not meant for gamers only but for other purposes too that can belong to our advantages.
