Virtual Reality changes Real-Life Behavior
Posted on
Cutting down a virtual redwood with a virtual chainsaw may lead you to save trees by recycling more paper. That finding is an example of how real-world behavior can be changed by immersing people in virtual reality environments -- a notion that is at the heart of work under way in Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab.

Hell yeah it does. Virtual reality is just a fragment of reality.

Does that mean that violent games/ virtual reality experience may actually lead to a decrease in violence rates? I believe not! I challenge Stanford University to prove or disprove that…

Virtual reality helps me feel relax. At least it brings me out of the harsh reality.

Plus I would love if you can have some of such demonstrations in my country India…!! Read your article too… It’ll be awesome to see my boots shake
I think this can be a part of some adventure island kind of theme… will make quite a good impression, especially with population like that in India…
