A virtual future for health?

Virtual reality (VR) is technology that uses realistic images to make you feel that you are in
a 3D lifelike environment. It can work through a headset or computer screen and generates
convincing images and sounds to make you feel that you are there.
VR was first trialled by the armed forces in the 1980s to train pilots on flight simulators. The
earliest VR technology was so big that it filled an entire room. As the technology got smaller
and easier to use, as well as less costly to produce, the medical profession began to use VR for
therapy, for example for dental pain relief and to help people with burns.
Six studies on small groups of patients tried to find out if VR games could relieve pain and the
results suggest that it changes patients’ response to discomfort. VR games are straightforward
to operate and help because they distract the players from their pain. They do this by
triggering changes in the brain and nervous system. More research is needed to find out
exactly how good VR is for pain relief but it may reduce the need for strong medication.
‘Guided imagery programs help people to imagine relaxing scenarios, and can treat a variety
of medical disorders. Virtual reality is a great way to provide this type of therapy,’ said Dr Anita
Gupta of Princeton University. However, she said that some side effects of VR can include
motion sickness, nausea and dizziness.
Today, VR devices are mass-produced and only need a smartphone to work which makes
them accessible for everyone. Lots of people, both young and old, enjoy playing VR games or
wearing VR headsets in order to visit places such as the Pyramids in Egypt and fly spacecraft.
VR is used in many areas of our lives, such as for health care and in schools, as well as for work
and play. The future is here and it is here to stay!

My virtual journey!
In 2016 Tim Peake, the European Space Agency’s first British astronaut, returned from the
International Space Station (ISS) in the extremely small Soyuz space capsule. Tim Peake was
with two other astronauts so they were packed like sardines for the seven-hour journey back
to Earth.
Travelling back to Earth in the Russian-built capsule, Soyuz, is an adventure only a handful of
humans have had – until the Science Museum’s latest Virtual Reality (VR) exhibition opened.
On my visit, I climbed aboard the Soyuz capsule and experienced piloting it for myself. It
didn’t matter that I’d never flown a spacecraft before because Tim Peake was there as my
very own virtual guide for the journey from the ISS back to Earth. I had to wait a while as the
exhibition was so popular but it was well worth it.
All of us, small and big kids alike, have dreamt of being an astronaut and the Science
Museum’s latest VR Space exhibit made that dream come true for me. It really brought the
science I learned at school to life. I sat in the pilot’s seat, next to a virtual Tim Peake, and
travelled 400 km from the ISS at speeds of up to 25,000 km per hour before slowing down to
land in the Kazakhstan desert – re-tracing Tim’s amazing adventure through space.
I was excited to learn that Tim helped to create this stunning VR experience. He believes that
visitors to the Science Museum can experience something that truly is very close to the real
thing, at the Science Museum’s first permanent VR exhibit. My advice is to get tickets early to
avoid disappointment. My friend was less lucky than me and wasn’t able to go as he didn’t
book in advance.
I learned a lot about VR. It has a bright future and it’s here to stay. VR educates school pupils
in different subjects; students can explore underground mines and mountain tops and feel
like they are there. People also use VR to experience scuba diving around the Great Barrier
Reef or climbing mountains such as Mount Everest.

M  Molly:
I keep hearing about virtual reality, or VR, being used in homes, schools, hospitals,
and even to travel in space. Can anyone tell me why it’s suddenly so popular?

E  Erik:
VR used to be for IT experts only but now ordinary people are enjoying it too. All
you need is a headset and you’re ready to go. This means that different experiences,
scenarios and places can be explored using VR.

S  Sanjay:
I agree with Erik and think it’s brilliant that school children can use VR in a variety of
subjects at school so their school lessons come alive. Pupils can visit the Taj Mahal,
go underwater and climb mountains. I’m really tempted to get a VR headset and try
it for myself. Have you tried it yet, Molly?

M  Molly:
No, I haven’t and although I understand that it’s good for educational and
professional purposes, I don’t want a future filled with half-awake humans living in a
fantasy world. You can already see the negative effects the internet and
smart phones have on our ability to communicate in real life. I dread the day when
people only talk in text-speak and act like robots because they’re all plugged into a
virtual life.

E  Erik:
I read a newspaper article that showed playing computer games helps children
and young people to process information more quickly so imagine how much VR
will improve our abilities. Soon it will be simple for whole families to visit faraway
places such as the Great Wall of China from the comfort of their armchairs. The tide
has turned and VR has a great future ahead so why not greet it with a hello and a
headset?

S  Sanjay:
I completely understand your mixed feelings, Molly, but I think the future of VR looks
fantastic. It offers so many positive possibilities and will benefit us in ways we can’t
imagine yet. I hope you get to try it soon and find out for yourself.
