Virtual①reality
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【1】?
FRANK:Of course.The basic definition of VR lies in② the name itself,which means“reality that is not real”【2】.When you wear a VR headset equipped with③ sensors④ and a screen,you are surrounded by threeD images,sounds and other sensory information,which creates a superrealistic effect called “presence”. Though you know the sensory information surrounding you is not real,part of your brain believes it is-and acts accordingly⑤.
【2】which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词 the name ;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词reality。
SUSAN:Thanks,Frank.Can you give some examples of the practical⑥ applications VR has?
FRANK:I'd love to.There are a host of⑦ educational applications. Academic⑧ VR enables students to interact⑨ with others in a threeD environment.There are endless possibilities for the subject matter
