Hi my name is Logan and I did my Capstone topic on Virtual Reality, I was already very interested in this topic but I wanted to learn a lot more. And that sent me into my research and I learned a lot overall and I had to put it into an essay and that became my script and then I had to make slides for the Ted talk that I was doing. Here is my essay

Do you love video games? Lots of kids do! I do too! Today I will be talking about a different purpose of virtual reality. My main inquiry question is how has VR changed from an entertainment purpose to a next step in the future. You will be learning about What is VR and its evolution, Why could VR be important in the future, How could VR assist police officers, Why is there negative opinions on VR, and Why could it is essential that gov’t officials use VR. So let’s dive in.

In 1938 a book was written by Antonin Artaud about technology and trying to make VR. Then VR was invented in 1968 by Ivan Sutherland then in 1991, the first game was called Virtuality. The game had very few pixels and was hard to play if you could travel back in time. But people back then thought that was the best they were ever going to get. And that got lots of people hooked on VR technology. Then in 2014 something very big happened oculus got bought by Facebook. And people then knew that VR was legitimate.

VR is very important to kids right now because they like playing video games. But people need to start thinking ahead. The future. It seems so bright. VR is not just for kids. Almost 60% of kids in America play it, but a whopping 27% of Policemen train with VR* (according to a survey). Also, astronauts use VR to use different technologies and different ways for rockets to land and get on mars. Now I am not taking VR from kids away too. Also, VR can affect the world by helping with headsets. VR can assist in such as dining, Nursing, and Media, Reporting stories will help dramatically. Education, Entertainment purposes such as sports, video games. Architecture, Culture. With VR you can go anywhere in the world you want which is why it is so great.

 According Ezra Krausz who I interviewed, he said and Callum Moates both said “ Through VR we are able to jump into situations which would otherwise be impossible to re-enact in a classroom, with Covid many things have happened. You could jump to Mach Pichu, Perform Surgery or carry out a science experiment learning is our best way of retaining information which is why virtual reality is a great solution to improve education from Zagreb Croatia to Tokyo Japan Buenos Aires Argentina, VR is a great use everywhere.” This is important because it shows that right now in COVID we can go to places that would otherwise be impossible to reach.

.VR is critical to policemen because it will help policemen in the future because they can wear the headset which will help will help with the vision for VR. VR has an expanded vision which will help because it is better than regular eyesight. This will help them catch criminals. but what about policemen. Police officers train with Vr to see what will happen if they do different situations. Policemen can see what they do good and bad. Ezra says that policemen get encouraged when they try something new and it works. They get a lot more confidence

VR has a screen on it which makes parents feel unsafe about it. VR has games parents don’t feel safe with. VR seems unhealthy. VR has different experiences. VR may have inappropriate music or quests. Virtual Reality name sounds bad to parents because they think their kid is going to another reality. VR is a different type of electronic and it is always being updated. The brain rhythms are different. This indicates that VR has different uses. Parents feel like VR is taking away the active side of their children. 

VR is very misunderstood here is why VR can help treat Alzheimer’s. And help them remember more Another good side is that kids can have an escape if something bad is happening to them which makes them feel more comfortable. Also, VR seems bad at looking at a screen but if you are on your phone all the time and that is a screen.

At first, it looks like a video game. But it is more than just a video game. It puts you in a real-life situation in VR to help you figure out what you can do. Next-gen technology is a big step in our future, but what about policemen. Police officers train with Vr to see what will happen if they do different situations. But the court can also use it to show what the crime was and evidence of the crime on a little screen. VR is a much safer part of the world Ezra Krausz from V/Armed says. Policemen can see what they do good and bad. Ezra says that policemen get encouraged when they try something new and it works. They get a lot more confidence

Hi, I am Logan, and today I will be telling you about my capstone experience. I had to do an interview and I felt very comfortable because I felt like I could ask him any question I wanted and it was a lot better.

My process of knowing who to interview was pretty easy because a VR expert replied to one of her tweets and we knew each other mildly so I felt very comfortable. But he was an excellent help and use of my time because he helped me with a lot of research. My process of writing the questions was to get to know your questions. Then VR questions and sub-questions.

First of all, I never knew VR could be such an exciting topic. When we scheduled the interview two bad things happened. One, I had a huge bloody nose and it took 10 mins to stop. But the worst part was…..  He did not show up. I was annoyed but I also knew it was mothers day so I could not expect anything.

Overall the interview was a very fun topic to ask someone about and it was very fun to do.

Hi, I am Logan and today I will be telling you about Capstone. Capstone is a project and you pick a topic you are very interested in. And then you have to make Questions that fit with your topic. Get someone to interview and do research. I think Capstone so far is a bit annoying a bit fun and a bit stressful

My process was a little strange. While I was trying to think of a topic with my mom, my brother asked “Mom, can I play VR.” And all of a sudden I realized that VR was a great topic for capstone I was interested in and excited to do research

Overall my Capstone process has been very fun!

In this project, me and my classmates had to interview someone who immigrated here from a different country. I chose my soccer coach, his name is Danillo B Andrade. He immigrated here from Brazil. And I had to make a video about him.

Creating the video was hard because it took a lot of time. But I knew that Danillo spent a lot of time thinking and conducting his answers to me in ways that he knew would appreciate.  So I needed to make a video that took a long time for Danillo. He gave me great answers and pictures which helped because  I knew I could incorporate them into the video.

I learned that good things take lots of stress, hard work, and time Because I made a lot of mistakes and I knew I had to keep going to make Danillo proud. Danillo seemed happy to talk about it. I think that he wanted someone to talk to his moving experience because he had not talked about it in a long time.

Overall this project was really fun and I would love to do it again
