Oculus Rift Creating a Second Reality

With technological advancements, a true “Second Life” is more realistically available. New additions the the digital world, such as Oculus Rift, allow for a virtual world to connect the player to the avatar. The person, through Oculus Rift, the player’s view field becomes that of the avatar. This new technology allows for a “whole new, yet natural way” in which the player can interact with the virtual world as if physically there.MV5BMjAxMzY3NjcxNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTI5OTM0Mw@@._V1_SX214_AL_

You are not just part of the game, you become physically present. It is movies such as Inception, that perfectly portray the dangers of living through a virtual reality. As soon as the graphics catch of t0 the technology, or even if a google earth type of technology is instated, it will be nearly impossible to distinguish the real from the unreal.
