Good afternoon. The Virtual Reality class was really great! I found out what the real status of this technology is for now and that, in fact, it is really far from imagined by me and other people (first new thing). I also got the idea of the reason why this technology is not so advanced in comparison with others. I understood that due to detailed explanation of our professor about huge number of data, which should be stored and used to get one simple move in the Virtual Reality (second new thing to know).
Article 8. Virtual Game Helps Children Escape Realities Of Burn Unit.
This article has really impressed me! I believe the example in it is the best humanity example, for which such an advanced technology may be used. And I'm really glad that it happens in our time with our children. The well known fact is that there is strong connection between anxiety and pain. So, in order to decrease pain we have to lower anxiety level to the minimum. The best way for it is to distract a person in a real pain from what he sees and expects. And really good idea in such a situation, as shown in the article, is Virtual Reality games. As we all know it really distracts you and takes into completely different world of feelings and emotions. For the children in pain in the real world it is a great relief as cleaning and treating procedures are long and very painful. As we can see from the article, even though the Program started in May of this year, it has already brought good results: "Burn nurses report several patients have noticeably improved in terms of their ability to tolerate dressing changes". And even a separate research was launched to compare the results of virtual reality pain distraction with traditional distraction techniques, such as watching television, listening to music, counting and deep breathing.
