  1. By Alexandra Hubbard VIRTUAL REALITY GAMING Main Question: What are the pros and cons of virtual reality gaming?

  2. Sub-Questions(On Data Chart) 1) What is virtual reality gaming? Virtual reality gaming is a game where players can interact in a three dimensional, virtual world (an essential part to the game.) The virtual world in the game is an artificial environment designed with software in such a way that it feels real. The virtual world is experienced through the senses; usually sight and sound, but depending on the game other senses can be used too.

  3. Sound Sight These are the two senses that are used to make an online virtual reality game realistic. In other virtual reality games other sense are used (such as smell.)

  4. Dividing the research question further:2) What are the benefits of virtual reality gaming?3) What are some disadvantages of virtual reality gaming?

  5. I wasn’t getting enough information, even when using the techniques learnt in the video we were shown. So I decided to look at a specific game and research the pros and cons of that particular game in the hope of getting more ‘hits’ and information. It worked – and I found an article on Ebsco.

  11. Summary & Reflection There are many pros and cons of using virtual reality games. When used correctly, Second Life can be very good for your wellbeing and you can even make real money through the game. When using virtual-reality video games people are free to be themselves and express themselves in any way they wish and are able to create their own version of Utopia. The pros out weight the cons, however, it is important to stay smart online, (e.g. beware of strangers) in order to stay safe and to get the most out of using virtual reality games such as Second Life. By using sub questions I was able to answer my main question. I learnt a lot by completing this task and learnt a lot about virtual reality games (especially the game Second Life.) By completing this task I was able to identify pros and cons which can allow me to make a decision about whether or not I should play a virtual reality game in the future. I am happy with my end product and use of diagrams, tables and colour-coding to effectively display my research and newly acquired information.
