on When I was working on my final project it was not that hard because all I had to do was memorize it and memorizing. Memorizing is not hard for me because in fourth grade I had to memorize a toy theatre script. This is what my script looks like.
| Have you ever you imagined yourself in an alternate dimension? With Virtual Reality, otherwise known as VR, people can do almost anything. Today, I am going to talk about the many uses of VR. |
| VR has other uses than just gaming. The other main uses are military, sports/fitness, mental health, medical training, and education. |
| VR has changed fitness because it gives people an option other than going to the gym. There are games like Box VR, Knockout League and more. Going to the gym is still better but playing Virtual Reality is more fun. |
| Medical and dental students will be able to train while they are in VR. For example they could perform a surgery or pulling out a tooth. This is good because if they mess up it, will not harm anybody. They are also able to practice as long as they want to. |
| Students can be taken on virtual field trips. For example, with VR, students can take tours of the solar system and go back in time to different eras.
The subjects VR help most in are
|
| The military in the U.K. and the U.S. use VR in army navy and airforce. The U.K. and the U.S. have both started using virtual reality in their training as it allows them to be able to train in different situations like being attacked by other people in a war, or flying an airplane, or even throwing a bomb. |
| Students with special needs, such as autism, are also using VR technology. A company called Floreo has developed virtual reality scenarios that allow children to learn and practice skills such as pointing, making eye contact, and building social connections. Parents can also follow along and interact by using a linked table. This helps students with their social skills. |
| It has also been used to treat anxiety, phobias, and depression. Virtual reality technology can provide a safe area for patients to come into contact with things they fear, while staying in a safe environment because they can’t get hurt in VR. |
| VR helps the viewer’s experience because they can watch the game they want to watch on the headset. This is helpful because if you did not get a ticket to the game you want to watch you can just watch it from your headset, it is also much cheaper then buying a ticket to a game. |
| For my site visit I went to the Microsoft Store and there they had VR and AR headsets. |
| Beat Saber is another fitness game and I played it. While I was playing Beat Saber, I started to get tired. It was a really fun and I think you should give it a try. |
| In conclusion, VR is more than just gaming. VR is an inexpensive way to virtually travel to places that people are unable to visit. Doctors can train for surgery while using VR. Mentally ill people can use VR to calm them down. Military and educators can train soldiers and students with VR. Using VR is a great way to exercise too! I hope that many of you will use VR more often because VR has so many options!

Blog post #5 Answering my Main Inquiry Question
on For capstone you have to make a essay on your research it was pretty easy because all you had to do was make it on all of your research in it. here is my essay and it is really long.
What are the Main Uses of Virtual Reality?
By Henry
What is virtual reality? According to a blog on the website “newgenapps,”Virtual reality (VR) is a way to create a computer-generated environment that immerses the user into a virtual world.” To use, someone needs to have a headset hooked up to a computer. How is VR used today? According to Alayna Mansell, a Digital Marketing Specialist, the five main uses of virtual reality (VR) include: military, sports/fitness, mental health, medical training, and education.
Military
The military in the U.K. and the U.S. use VR in army navy and airforce. The U.K. and the U.S. have both started using virtual reality in their training as it allows them to be able to train in different situations like being attacked by other people in a war, or flying an airplane, or even throwing a bomb.
Sports
VR is revolutionising the sports industry for both players and viewers. It is helpful for the players because it can get them in shape.
VR helps the viewer’s experience because they can watch the game they want to watch on the headset. This is helpful because if you did not get a ticket to the game you want to watch you can just watch it from your headset, it is also much cheaper then buying a ticket to a game.
VR changed fitness because you used to only go to the gym, but now you have another option you could play Virtual Reality. There are games like Box VR, Knockout League and more. Going to the gym is still better, but playing Virtual Reality Is more fun. The top sports that are benefiting from VR are
- American Football
- Nascar
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Poker
Mental Health
It has also been used to treat anxiety, phobias, and depression. Virtual reality technology can provide a safe area for patients to come into contact with things they fear, while staying in a safe environment because they can’t get hurt in VR.
VR has become a primary method for treating post-traumatic stress. Using VR exposure therapy, which is a therapy that helps people calm down with visualization, a person enters a re-enactment of a traumatic event. It has also been used to treat anxiety, phobias and depression.
Medical Training
Medical and dental students will be able to train when they are in VR. For example they could perform a surgery or pulling out a tooth. This is good because if they mess up, it will not harm anybody. They are also able to practice as long as they want to.
Education
Virtual reality has been helping in education for teaching and learning situations. Students are able to interact with each other within a three dimensional environment. This helps students with their social skills.
Students can also be taken on virtual field trips. For example, with VR, students can take tours of the solar system and go back in time to different eras.
Students with special needs, such as autism, are also using VR technology. Research has found VR can be a motivating platform to safely practice social skills for children. A company called Floreo has developed virtual reality scenarios that allow children to learn and practice skills such as pointing, making eye contact, and building social connections. Parents can also follow along and interact by using a linked table. This helps students with their social skills. The subjects VR help most in are
- Science
- Social Studies
- History
In conclusion, VR is more than just gaming. VR is an inexpensive way to virtually travel to places that people are unable to visit. Doctors can train for surgery while using VR. Mentally ill people can use VR to calm them down. Military and educators can train soldiers and students with VR. Using VR is a great way to exercise too! I hope that many of you will use VR more often because VR has so many options!
