Experience virtual reality in your dream!

In last blog I made an imagination of future model making technology, now I have a further daydream based on it.

This is inspired by an American fiction series called “Jake 2.0”. In a episode, the main role played in a room made of Virtual reality stuff, he perform a combat with terrorists in this room, just like in the real city. By the way in this film this guy is also implanted nanotechnology mini robot in his blood so he got super ability, can even fix a electronically broken TV. What ever.


The same scene is also showed in Matrix and many other fiction movies. There are some technologies make us believe it’s possible, today we can play golf towards a screen which showing the view of golf field, we can watch a 3D projection movie, In the previous lecture of Sven Tollmien we also learned some scientist have invented some machine make it possible to control a virtual game or speech by mind but not action.

Then I have a crazy fantasy again. If we can experience a virtual reality when we are wake, can we also experience it in our dream? It’s said during a typical lifespan, a human spends a total of about six years dreaming[2] (which is about 2 hours each night[3]).

This means a lot!
For urban planner, they can make their virtual urban design model into virtual reality format, and put in a machine connecting to volunteer’s brain( by brainwave maybe), so in his dream the volunteer will enter the virtual city( the whole city will be mirrored into a virtual version too), then they can experience the new city life before the proposal is implemented into reality. Then they can give feedback to planner to adjust and improve something in their proposal.

Well, the question is, will we still have reality world after 50 yrs?
