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.

You should do an episode about the future of music.
This looks like the animation from Dumb Ways to Die
Awesome video and animation 😀
That one FUCKING SUCKED
Bananananana…
Great video. Great narration. MOAR!!!
Vicarious virtualities can never supersede the joy and exhilaration offered by reality.
I love this design :O
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.
The matrix has you.
THIS IS SAO!
best ending ever ?
I thought Apple would take over the world.… They are number one after all..
Dumb Ways to Die??? ..same person?
Can’t wait for project Morpheus on ps4!! 🙂
Check out the game, NO MAN’S SKY.…it’s a completely procedurally generated universe.
How about we try to build a computer that’s capable of simulating your brain, then find a way to transfer the complete state of someone’s brain, including their consciousness onto that digital model when they die. Connect all these digitalized minds to a realistic simulation and there you are!
You have an afterlife where people can make all their wishes come true. You could connect this simulation to the internet so people outside could communicate with the people inside. People inside could work on scientific projects or other tasks. Assuming there’s enough processing power, the time in the simulation could be sped up such that progress would be achieved faster (or if people inside would just want to feel like they have more time on their hands. Not that they couldn’t live for many hundred or even thousand years anyways…). Eventually, when the technology allows it, these digitalized minds could get into humanoid robots to roam the earth again temporarily, or vice-versa someone could use virtual reality gear to visit the simulation. The possibilities are endless…
If this will ever be invented I think it will be the greatest human invention for a long time to come… Not least because it will actually enable humanity to work on much greater things. And because everyone will be virtually (forgive the pun) immortal.
Omg i would love to be in the gta v world
The animation is so good!
digital lolipop for taste, no joke it exists it simulates hot cold and 4 tastes sweet, salty, sour, bitter
People that has been in Second Life for a while are ready for the next steps, we have already taken the red pills 🙂
Sword art online irl pls..
Everyone would have a containment pod all around the world. The world would be made up of these pods and literally everyone would have one. The pods would all be connected and in each pod would be a person linked to a virtual reality through wires and coding. They’d be fed through food tubes automatically 24/7 and there would be no stress, no depression in these virtual worlds. You would be able to meet others in this virtual world but it wouldn’t get out of hand because it’s your mind, what you want and imagine. To reproduce eggs would be automatically fertilized at age 25…? And the baby would be placed in a pod. If someone woke up by any chance they’d use the emergency button and the task force would also wake up and answer the call on a computer in the person’s pod. It would be pretty sweet 🙁
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?
Just came here for ready player one 😂😂☺☺☺
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
I hope this will be real soon. I want to be a vampiric tyrants that takes over the world and slays giant monsters
