Virtual Reality
The topic I am researching for my project is the emergence of Virtual Reality as a much more real and accessible form of media than was possible before. Virtual Reality is being used mostly for entertainment purposes such as video games, and other immersive experiences but has the potential to expand into the other various aspects of society. I will be discussing the potential use of Virtual Reality as a legitimate form of new media, where it stands right now in society, and how it could impact the economic, technical, educational, and moral perspectives in the future. I will also discuss how it will specifically further our immersion in media and news storytelling. I will also touch on how the use of Virtual Reality in video games helped jump the industry forward in terms of awareness and acceptance.

Virtual reality is indeed an emerging market that will take off in the near future. I read an article about how some medical facilities are using virtual reality in order to help patients with spinal problems that are incurable. Basically, they put the handicapped or paralyzed patient in a virtual reality game where they have to walk; this tricks the brain into thinking that they are actually walking and some nerves in the spine start reacting and could eventually give them the ability to walk again! very interesting, look into it.
