Grand Challenge Summary

The challenge of enhancing virtual reality is to have VR technology assist with human issues. Issues such as environmental preservation and human happiness. The idea for environmental preservation is the way virtual reality can put users in a virtual world where their actions have real-time consequenes.

ss human happiness aspect is the way virtual reality can bring users experiences that they may not be able to have in real life. A person who used to have a passion for hiking mountains for fun but is now to old to do so can put on a virtual reality system and once again participate in their passion. This same idea can be applied to paraplegics, amputees, and other people who lack mobility. Virtual reality has many possibilities for enhancing the way we live and we are just now on the cusp of discovering them.s
