Emva kweminyaka yezithembiso ezibanzi kunye noqikelelo lwe-hyperbolic, ukuvela ndiphila ekugqibeleni iphezu kwethu.
Kule veki, iseti yentloko ye-Oculus Rift VR yaqala ukuthunyelwa kubathengi kwifom yayo yokugqibela, elungele ukudlala. I $ 1,500 isixa iza nophawu lwentengiso lwe-Oculus yentloko kunye nekhompyuter ye-ASUS ene-desktop eyenzelwe ukulungisa imizobo ekumgangatho uphakamileyo kunye namandla okuhambisa afunwa ngabantu behlabathi. Ukuza kwe Oculus-Ulandela abo bakhuphisana nabo njengeSamsung kunye ne-HTC-okunokwenzeka ukuba baphawule ukuqala ngokusemthethweni kwamava abathengi bokwenyani.
Ngelixa abadlali kunye nabathandi banokugcwala ngovuyo, umngcipheko we-VR uphinyiselwe kakhulu. Inani elimangalisayo lexesha apho umMelika wale mihla echitha ixesha elininzi kumazwe ehlabathi-ngokusebenzisa umabonwakude okanye ikhompyuter okanye i-smartphone-isenza ukuba sibe nexhala ngakumbi kwaye sibe noxinzelelo.
Inani elimangalisayo lexesha elisichithayo eMelika kule mihla ebonakalayo lisenza ukuba sibe nexhala ngakumbi kwaye sidandatheke.
Izixhobo ezinje nge-Oculus Rift zithembisa ngokusihluba ngakumbi ulwazi lokuba umzimba uziphethe kakuhle xa usifundisa kwaye kubalulekile ukuzola nokuzola. Ngelixa ukumodareyitha kunokuba yinto ephambili kuyo yonke into, ukusebenzisa kwethu itekhnoloji kwangoku kufanele ukuba ibe lophawu kuphela esifuna ukuba inyani ebonakalayo iya kukhulisa kuphela iingqondo kunye neziphumo zezempilo ezibangelwa ngabanduleli bayo.
Umonakalo obangelwe yimizimba yethu neengqondo zethu lixesha lethu kwi-cyberpace ubhalwe kakuhle kwaye ngaphandle kwengxoxo. I-American Psychological Association ikhuphe iingxelo ezininzi malunga "Ukuhlaselwa kwengqondo kwe-smartphone, Ecaphula isifundo emva isifundo emva isifundo Ukufumana ulungelelwaniso oluqinisekileyo phakathi kokusetyenziswa okunzima kwe-smartphone kunye neempawu zoxinzelelo, uxinzelelo, ukungalali, kunye nezinye iimpawu zezifo zengqondo. Imidlalo yevidiyo inokuvelisa ukuqonda nokusombulula iingxaki izibonelelo, kodwa zona ngokunjalo yenza nokuba abadlali beModareyitha babe nexhala ngakumbi ekuhlaleni. I-psychopathology efumaneka rhoqo kwi-intanethi yokuthengisa iziyobisi kwi-Intanethi izala izizukulwane ezifuna ukuzola iimpawu zokusetyenziswa kwe-Intanethi nzima nangakumbi Ukusetyenziswa kwe-Intanethi.
Inyani yokwenyani ayifani nokubaleka okungeyonyani-kwaye isenokuba mandundu.
Abaxhamli bangaphambi kwexesha kunye nabaphuhlisi bomxholo weVR kunye nezixhobo zokusebenza zixeliwe "Eyona nyani yokugula"-Uhlobo lokugula olushukumayo olubangelwa kukungqamana phakathi kwembonakalo ye-enivesithi yokulinganisa intshukumo kunye nentshukumo kunye nomzimba oqhelekileyo wokuma. Umseki we-Oculus uPalmer Luckey kutsha nje uchaze ukutsiba phakathi kweVR kunye nehlabathi lokwenyani njengelinye elingashukumi kangako Ukushiya umboniso bhanyabhanya, kodwa uninzi intambo, Mods, yaye kwiwebhusayithi uzinikezele kuphela ekuzoliseni ingqondo ne-VR-fueled engqondweni nasemzimbeni unokuthi ngenye indlela. I-Samsung kunye ne-Oculus nditsho ndilumkise Abasebenzisi bathathe ikhefu lemizuzu elishumi rhoqo emva kwemizuzu engamashumi amathathu kwaye ubacele ukuba bakuphephe ukuqhuba okanye ukusebenzisa oomatshini abasindayo ukuba iziphumo ezinjalo zihlala ixesha elide emva kokuba bemkile kwihlabathi elibonakalayo.
Ayisiyongxaki eyahlukileyo eyahluliweyo kwizinto eziyinyani. Uninzi lweziphumo ezonakalisayo ze-smartphone okanye ukusetyenziswa kwe-Intanethi luvela kwizibakala zetekhnoloji ngokwayo. Izikrini, kakhulu njengoko zenza kunye nazo, ziphazamise kwaye zikhuthaze ubuchopho bethu ngeendlela zokuvelisa umlutha nako konke okuza nayo. Ugqirha wezengqondo uVictoria Dunckley uphikise isifo esisemthethweni Isifo esikwi-elektroniki screen. Uyacaphula ezininzi izifundo Ukufumana ixesha elingaphezulu lescreen, nokuba akukho mxholo, kugqibela ukonakalisa umba ompunga nomhlophe weengqondo ezisencinci, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezinobunzima kwiimfesane nakulawulo lwempembelelo. I-Optometrists kunye ne-ophthalmologists ziye zalumkisa iminyaka malunga nesiphumo esibonakalayo kwisikrini esibonakalayo, kodwa okungaqwalaselwanga kakuhle yimiphumo emibi ye-neurological.
Uninzi ngaphandle kwam kunye nezinye iaddites ezikhathazayo zisoyika iimpembelelo zeenkqubo ezizezona kwaye zingangqinelani zokoqobo kwengqondo yomntu. Ugqibile ENew York Times Umhleli wezenkcubeko uDavid Carr uthelekisa iMicrosoft's HoloLens yentloko nesiqendu se Black Mirror lo gama Ukubonakalisa uloyiko "Inani leyona nyani, engabhalwanga esiyifumana isengozini." the AtlanticUMonica Kim i nkxalabo "Ukuqhubela phambili kweVR, ukuntywila kunokubangela iimeko ezizezona zodwa zokuthathwa kukawonkewonke ukuze ziqwalaselwe luluntu" yindlela iziyobisi zemidlalo yevidiyo eyenze ngayo kwishumi leminyaka eyadlulayo kwaye umabonwakude wakwenza oko kwisizukulwana ngaphambi koko.
Mhlawumbi, ke, impendulo kukumodareyitha okucocekileyo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, bambalwa abaphandi kunye novavanyo olufumene impumelelo ekusebenziseni i-VR ukunyanga isigulo sengqondo kunye nokunciphisa uxinzelelo. Abavavanyi baphinde batyhutyha malunga nzulu, umdlalo wokuhlola ulwandle kwi-Oculus eyenzelwe ukuba yehlisa umoya phantsi ukusuka kuhlaselo loxinzelelo. Kunyaka ophelile, Wired umlambo ovunyiweyo, uqalo lwe-VR olugxile kwimidlalo elungiselelwe ukunceda ekubonakaliseni unyango kunyango lwabantu abane-OCD okanye olunye uphazamiseko lwesifo se-phobic. Mhlawumbi indalo ekhethekileyo yeVR inokuyivumela ukuba isebenze ngokwenyani kubomi bobuchwephesha obudalwe zezinye iintlobo zetekhnoloji.
Xa kuziwa kubuchwephesha, sinomdla wokungqiba njengekhephu kwitheko.
Kodwa ukuba i-VR iba nobiquitous njengabavelisi bayo kwaye abatyali-mali banethemba, kukho ithuba elinamafutha lokuba nabani na asebenzise ukuzilawula ukwenzeka komzimba okuya kufuna. Ngelixa unokutshintsha amabinzana anjengokuthi "umlutha we-smartphone" okanye "umlutha we-Intanethi" njengokusebenzisa kuphela kwi-ins-ins ezazisa abantwana babo ukuba balambe ngaphambi kokuba balahle World of Warcraft Ugqogqo, uphando lubonisa ukuba luyingozi ngakumbi kunokuba umntu enokukrokrela. Isifundo ngoochwephesha bezengqondo baseBritane bafumanise ukuba abantu abadala abancinci bajonga kwaye basebenzise i-smartphone yabo iphindwe kabini inani kunokuba baqikelela ukuba banjani, ngokufana nonxila ocinga ukuba bangaqhuba xa bengakwazi ukuma.
Xa kufikwa kubuchwephesha, sinomdla wokungqiba kwisidlo, isidlo kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zemithombo yeendaba, ulwazi, ukuzonwabisa kunye nokunxibelelana ngenkxalabo encinci ngeempawu zengqondo ezisishiya kuthi. Ngoku ka isifundo nge-eMarketer, ixesha lethu esilichithe kwii-smartphones likhuphuke nangayiphi na indleko kumaxesha ethu esichithwe phambi kwekhompyuter yedekhompyuter kwaye alichukumisi ixesha lethu phambi kweTV. Ngapha koko, ixesha lethu esilichithe kwizixhobo zeselfowuni lingaphezulu kwekota ngelixa ixesha lethu esilichitha kwikhompyuter okanye ukubukela umabonwakude liphungile kwaphela.
Akukho sizathu sembali sokuthemba abathengi ukuba bayeke ukuyishiya i-VR ngokuzithandela kwabo, ngakumbi ukuba, njengee-smartphones, iba sisixhobo sokuzonwabisa kunye nokudinwa emsebenzini. Kule veki iphelileyo kubonwe ukutyhilwa kwe-Virtual Desktop, inkqubo elungele i-Oculus eguqula ikhompyuter yakho yesiqhelo kwindawo ebonakalayo. Ngaphandle kokuba ukuthandabuza ukuthandwa kweVR kulungile kwaye abathengi bakujonga njengokugula kakhulu okanye kukungakhathali ngenxa yeendlela abazithandayo, akukho bungqina buncinci bokuqinisekisa ukoyikiswa kwetekhnoloji enokubangela ngakumbi ukuqaqanjelwa, ukudakumba noxinzelelo njengabangaphambili.
Bubuxoki ukugxeka itekhnoloji yodwa-abo njengam abafumana uxolo lwengqondo lwabo luphazanyiswe ngokuntywiliselwa kakhulu banokuziqhelanisa nokumodareyitha ngelixa wonke umntu ezenza izinto zomhlaba ezingekho mthethweni. Kodwa ukuba ukuza kwe-Oculus kwenzelwe ukuba kudaleke ukungazinzi kwezobuchwephesha ngendlela ephawuleka kakhulu njenge-smartphone-ukuhlasela umsebenzi wethu kunye nobomi bobuqu ngesantya nesantya-akunakwenzeka ukuba akukho qela liya kuze likhethe.
