i know how it is.
Virtual reality creates what ever agenda a group is pushing and should never be used as evidence when trying to build working models of a problem. Creating the results you want is not science. And when it comes to climate we have no control what’s so ever over Mother Nature. She will decide when our time on this earth is done.
is that the truth
Joe Cosentino have you ever experienced virtual reality? and what exactly is your definition of science? your statement that virtual reality should never be used as evidence when trying to build working models of a problem is quite disturbing…what you’re essentially saying is that photojournalism and journalism itself should never be used as evidence either.
when someone takes a virtual reality camera into a syrian refugee camp (as the NY Times and UN did), and you experience what it’s like in that camp, and you feel immediate empathy for those in the camp because of the psychological immersion that a VR headset offers you when you’re surrounded, in all 360 degrees by the sights sounds and people of that camp, that is quite goddamn convincing evidence that has pushed quite a few people to go and help make those conditions more bearable.
when a virtual reality production team takes a camera into the cove where thousands of dolphins are being illegally slaughtered, and a group of lawmakers experience that film as they’re standing there, watching thousands of dolphins being slaughtered around them, and one of them tears up and is moved to go and protect those dolphins, successfully, that’s quite an effect that was caused by evidence.
i am a career photographer and videographer, and there is one thing that i aim to do with my photography, as most do, which is to create an emotional connection with the viewer of that photograph to the subject of that photography. but there is always still that barrier between photographer and photograph which does nothing more than to play to the photographers ego. with virtual reality, that barrier is broken down, and that emotional connection is immediate as the imagemaker disappears, to their egos chagrin, leaving the viewer to experience, without boundary, the situation being documented.
i’m been talking to someone who is creating a VR series on child trafficking, and at one point, a kid reaches out to touch your hand, and you feel that kid’s hand on yours. that is EXTREMELY powerful sir. and that should ABSOLUTELY be used to build a working model of a problem.
so i’m sorry, but your jaded statement seems like it came from ignorance of the medium, where it’s at, what people are doing with it, and where it’s headed. this is an extremely exciting world in which people are tackling the issues head on that we’ve thought hopeless for decades. and yes, mother nature will take care of herself, but that does not mean that we should not pivot to use whatever means necessary to take care of her.
You are talking about taking a camera into a real situation. That isn’t virtual reality. VR is what we do In medical simulators where we are placed in situations that another person inputs and we have to work our way through the situation.
Trying to use a VR situation to predict global changes. The results will only be what someone puts into the computers. And those inputs will only be what the programmer thinks will happen. It’s not based on any real science
VR does not come in one form or application Joe Cosentino. So are you trying to convince me that none of this is useful or based on any real science? http://www.techrepublic.com/article/10-ways-virtual-reality-is-revolutionizing-medicine-and-healthcare/ Or this? http://ict.usc.edu/groups/medical-vr/ Or this? http://www.nextmed.com/ Or this? http://medicalfuturist.com/5-ways-medical-vr-is-changing-healthcare/
