Virtual Games are a Reality
The question of whether computer games are biased is a matter of serious consideration. Let’s know more about these games. Virtual games are a fad among teenagers and adults alike and are played in computer-simulated environments that can replicate physical presence in real-world or imagined worlds. Most of these games include visual experiences, displayed on a computer screen, sensory information through headphones, etc. These games use standard input devices like a keyboard and mouse, or multimodal devices such as a wired glove and an omnidirectional treadmill. While playing, the player feels as if they are inside the scene, with the action going on all around. Virtual reality may significantly impact human life and activities. It enables heritage sites to be recreated with extreme accuracy and to develop virtual replicas of caves and monuments. It has therapeutic uses, such as treating various phobias and treating patients in another location by projecting a 3-D avatar of the therapist. However, these games also have a dark side. The adrenaline rush that occurs while playing can negatively alter the player's behaviour. These games involve a high degree of ‘immersion ', and the boundary between real and virtual life gets blurred. In order to harness the full benefits of virtual reality, one should be sensitised to warn off the possible dangers.
