What do you think is the most important value of VR?
I think the most important value of VR is that it can create a virtual world which is indistinguishable from the real one. When used appropriately, this is definitely a game-changing approach for fields like education and entertainment. Although it is hard to tell whether creating a virtual world is a good thing, we can still look forward to the future development of VR.
Key Phrases on P53
Susan: Frank, you've been working at the forefront of developments in virtual reality for many years. Can you tell us what virtual reality is and how it works?
苏 珊: 弗兰克,你在虚拟现实(VR)的前沿开发领域已经耕耘了很多年。你能告诉我们虚拟现实是什么,以及它的工作原理吗?
Virtual Reality
Frank: Of course. The basic definition of VR lies in the name itself, which means“reality that is not real”. When you wear a VR headset equipped with sensors and a screen, you are surrounded by three-D images, sounds and other sensory information, which creates a super-realistic effect called“presence”. Though you know the sensory information surrounding you is not real, part of your brain believes it is—and acts accordingly.
弗兰克: 当然可以。我们从虚拟现实的名字就能看出它的基本定义,意思就是“非真实的现实”。当你戴上配有传感器和屏幕的 VR 头戴设备时,你将被三维影像、声音和其他感官信息环绕包围,这些会营造出一种名为“临场感”的超现实效果。尽管你知道身边的感官信息是虚拟的,你大脑中的某些区域还是会相信它是真的——并且会作出相应的反馈。
