Can we build a virtual world? - THE BIG FUTURE Ep. 5

Virtual reality is getting better, but will we ever live in a convincing virtual world like The Matrix?

The web is fine, but how do we get the internet we always wanted — a "real" space you can walk around in, like the Metaverse from Snow Crash? It's not a new question, but it's one that's being taken a little more seriously now that a huge company like Facebook is putting its weight (and its money) behind virtual reality. In this week's Big Future, we look at what it takes to build a convincing virtual world, why we're not there yet, and what we might do if we got one.

Anyone here know SAO? I mean the concept inside. That such a great example of the virtual world.

Couldn't we rather than just having loads of equipment, have your mind be put into a computer. So you could have the perfect life, make it so that one millisecond could be equal to a century. You could have a perfect infinite life. And because your mind is inside, it feels real. People would develop a "World API" with all the physics of the world, the smells etc. Wouldn't that be cool?

Vicarious virtualities can never supersede the joy and exhilaration offered by reality.

Why trying to fool our senses? Set our consciousness free, leave the body behind.

I hope this will be real soon. I want to be a vampiric tyrants that takes over the world and slays giant monsters

I don't wanna live in virtual reality!!! :( I love real world and my real life with all the good and all the bad and all the flaws that makes us real and human.

well this video haven't really answer the question if you don't know the answer just say directly instead of stretching videos with questions and possiblities of what virtual world would be like that doesn't make any sense

[enricomdalcompare]

What do you mean with "as good as the real one"? Is this a troll?
