virtual video games educational

VIRTUAL VIDEO GAME EDUCATIONAL? NASA SAYS SO.

When I read this article I agreed completely with NASA’s proposal to make a MMO that simulates how different scientific and mathematic problems work. But of course there are people who will try to abuse and take advantage of this. And of course this will be better than just reading a book or getting taught by a teacher. It will also help with as it says in the article building teams, solving problems and cleaning and handling equipment. Because the reality is that virtual games are the next big thing. In say 10 years time, maybe less the big game system on the market will be a virtual head set. The Wii is an example of this, just imagine a system that actually reads and responds to your actions. I a few years people will say “hey you wanna come over and play my new system it’s virtual”. But I think that it could be a new revolution in technology and the military is already using it so why shouldn’t NASA. Yes the military uses a steel circle that rotates and they give the soldier a helmet and a fake gun, they power it up and he is in a virtual world with virtual enemies and allies. So all in all this is an amazing thing and it will be on the market in the next ten years
