How virtual reality tricks your brain




VR doesn’t need to look hyper-realistic for our brains to believe it. Watching someone play a game in virtual reality is a bit of a surreal experience in itself.

  1. When the graphics are ultra real, what if while you're sleeping someone put a headset on you and you woke up? Would you realize something was wrong immediately?

  2. I use to not believe that vr would be indistinguishable from reality.. now that i have a VR of my own i can definitely agree ? not sure if im ready for that lol

  3. Such a good video dealing with virtual reality that are expected to be spread around our daily lives more and more. It was fun and interesting to learn how our brain works when within the VR.

  4. What I dont understand though, is that it doesnt seem to affect me. I have been on rollercoasters with VR and many friends got sick from it. It didn't phase me, and I get really quickly sick when I am on the wrong rollercoaster.
    I also participated in an experiment with richies plank. You would step onto a real world plank about 3 feet from the ground and could jump off into a cushion. I am SCARED of heights, like I literally begin to shake and sweat and there were instances, when I was inside of a building and look out of the window and had to get on the floor because my knees couldn't hold me. I was scared of jumping down the plank WITHOUT the headset on.
    But the second I put on the headset I had no problem walking down the plank to the end and just jump down.
    Why? I feel like my brain doesn't get tricked by VR and I just don't get it.

  5. Bruh I finish playing VR and I try to set my controller on a table in the game that doesn’t exist in real life, I only realize it until I hear

    “THUD”

  6. Gonna kidnap somebody,

    Put them on top of a building unconscious and put a head set on them

    Put an actual plank on building.

    Strap a headset with ducktape on their head so they can't remove it

    Play riches plank experience

    They think it's a game and just outta spite jump off the building only to fall to their deaths

  7. As someone who doesn't have VR the most immersive game will make me move my head / upper body to a side to prevent getting hit by something

  8. Recently got back into VR. I was playing elite dangerous. Flying around seeing planets and the space port. Played for a couple of hours. Then I took the headset off and remembered I was in my room. It was like a good dream but I get to re live that dream every time. Best $5 for a game.

  9. I remember riding a VR rollercoaster at a mall, and despite the graphics looking like it’s run on Windows 95, I still tried to grab a tree passing by

  10. m8 , its not tricking me at all , People who are tricked are those that dont know electronics , since im in LAW as well i know of ppl who are tricked by LAW just the same way , they lose their feet , fall down , are thrown in jail based on a trick , a LAW trick your government is doing on you , so its all the same , if you know what is going on you cant be tricked , must i invoke Pandemic that tricked you all , not me .

  11. I can't wait for the Star Trek Holo Deck. We have the haptic feedback gloves and vests, next maybe we can plug into a computer like in "The Matrix"
