Advantages

Additionally, these games have advantages such as:

  • help kids exercise their creativity
  • produce fashion attire
  • a child’s imagination and short term memory are developed

Even if many of us don’t know, short term memory is important for solving mathematical equations, as well as for algebra and trigonometry. Such a game also includes dressing a girl or a boy with a specified time frame. For that, a player has to display great mental coordination and agility. Thus, his motor functions are improved.

Most kids adore to play such games because girls want to become princesses and boys want to become police officers. Kids can also put themselves in other people’s shoes or even celebrities. Thus, they can learn to see things from a different perspective and to understand their feelings and emotions. Although dress-up games seem less important, they have deeper advantages for kids, others than fun and developing creativity.

Whether virtual reality will have positive or negative implications on the social development of people is debatable. One thing is for sure: virtual reality will play an increasingly important role in public and private life as we move towards future at an incredible pace.

The idea of virtual reality faces humankind with a completely new phenomenon, what are the practical consequences of inhabiting a different reality? Here are the pros and cons of virtual reality games.

Advantages

  • increases resistance to distraction, especially when playing action games;
  • increased visual acuity. Your peripheral vision is improved quite significantly;
  • a great social activity, whether playing some games at a party or playing games online;


Source

  • puzzle, adventure and word games can help improve problem solving and logic skills. For instance, Sudoku is a game that greatly increases these skills. Adventure games where you have to complete certain quests can also help you think outside of the box in a way.
  • can be used to assist in education. Studies have shown that children playing educational games learn more because they do no realise they are learning.

 Disadvantages

  • some people can become completely addicted to video games and they do not go to work, or school, do not eat properly and do not exercise enough.
  • playing video games, even on the Wii, does not constitute a proper physical workout;

  • some people can become desensitised to violence when they play violent games. There have been reports of criminals copying violent video crimes;

From health to education, torture to war, and art to government. Virtual reality will increasingly make its presence felt and change the way we perceive things.

Second Life is an online virtual world dating back from 2003, when it was developed and launched by Linden Lab. The Second Life users, called residents, can interact with each other by means of avatars. They are enabled to do so by a number of free client programs called Viewers. The residents of this virtual world (also known as grid) can explore it just like they would in the real world. They can meet other residents, participate in individual and group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services.

A three dimensional modeling tool is built into the software. This tool is based on simple geometric shapes allowing residents to build virtual objects. Textures for clothing or other objects, animations and gestures can also be created. In Second Life, you can basically build things from scratch. And for free! The community has become very large and more and more people are appealed by the opportunity of creating and managing the lives of virtual people. If you want to enter this world, here is what you need to do.

  1. Accessing Second Life can be done with just a click. Just access their website and click the option “Join Now”. The client and service is free, but you will need to provide some basic information before the download begins.
     
  2. Once the client has downloaded, you will need to run the file. You should not worry about this aspect, since you will be guided through the entire installation process by a wizard. After the installation process is completed, run the application and log in with the details you have set up when registering on their site.
     
  3. Now that you logged onto Second Life, you can start customizing your first virtual person. The client has plenty of tools that will help you with that and will allow you to adjust basically every aspect of your avatar’s appearance. 

These are the simple steps you need to follow if you want to create virtual people in Second Life. The great thing about this virtual world is that you can create more than one virtual person if you want to. You also need to remember that while you can alter the avatar’s appearance, you cannot alter their clothing, which has to be purchased within the game with its special currency.

There are many controversies surrounding Second Life, since the media presented many cases in which people left their significant others for Second Life avatars. Cases of severe addiction have also been registered. Even though Second Life is intended for people aged 16 and over, parents cannot really control what their children do on the computer. This is why they need to be monitored when using a service like Second Life, because there is the chance of them not being able to distinguish between the real world and the virtual one. In fact, this also applies to adults.

As long as you keep these things in mind and understand that Second Life is a virtual world, you can start creating virtual people and have fun with this amazing software.

Here is a great video about Second Life that will tell you more about this online world.
