Not long ago computers were considered an amazing invention. Today they form part of our everyday lives. The latest thing today is virtual reality. Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is created with software and presented to the user in such a way that the user suspends belief and accepts it as a real environment. On a computer, virtual reality is primarily experienced through two of the five senses: sight and sound.
A Virtual Reality (VR) system can transport the user to exotic locations such as the cockpit of a space module, a beach in Hawaii or the inside of the human body.
VR is also a simulator, but instead of looking at flat, two-dimensional screen and operating a lever, the person who experiences VR is surrounded by a 3-D computer-generated representation, and is able to move around in a simulated world, seeing it from different angles.
The VR system is still in the early stages of its development. At the moment it is necessary to put a large, clumsy-looking high-tech helmet on your head to see the simulated world, and you have to wear a special glove on your hand in order to manipulate the objects you see there. Lenses and two miniature display screens inside the helmet create the illusion that the screen surrounds you on every side. You can “look behind” computer-generated objects, pick them up and see things from a different angle. This complex visual model changes every time you move according to a programme in a powerful computer, to which the helmet and glove are linked by cables.
Developers of VR say its potential is powerful. Fortunately, perhaps, it will be some time before the “virtual world” can truly mimic the real one.

These days most doctors and scientists agree that our physical state is closely related to our psychological well-being. But what have the experts discovered about what makes us feel good?
As well as being important to your physical health, regular exercise is now believed to improve your psychological state by releasing endorphins or “happy chemicals” into the brain. Even a brisk ten-minute walk every day can help according to researches.
According to experts, companionship and social support are vital to both our psychological and physical well-being. Modern researchers emphasize the value of group social activities in this respect. “Relationships we form at church or in clubs tend to be more supportive and uncritical than those we form at work or in the family,” says Professor Michael Argyle, “and these positive relationships improve our self-esteem, which is vital to our physical and mental health.” This is baked up by recent research which shows, perhaps surprisingly, that people who spend more time with others actually get fewer colds and viruses than those who stay at home on their own. In fact social support is so important to our mental and physical well-being that it may increase our life expectancy.
One rather surprising piece of research found that on average people who regularly watch soaps on television are significantly happier than those who don’t. Psychologists believe that this is because such programmes provide viewers with an imaginary set of friends, and a sense of belonging to a community.
Many scientists these days believe that indulging in life’s little pleasures – a bar of chocolate, a shopping trip – can actually improve your health, because of the psychological lift it gives you. There is a lot of truth in the old saying that “a little of what you fancy does you good.”
