Sean E asked:


I know this is all hypothetical, but what would it take to make a completely realistic virtual world? Like the kind in the movies and video games. Where the person inside can’t even detect that what they’re experiencing isn’t real.

For example, you’d have to block all sensory input to the brain and replace it with sensory input from the virtual environment. Then figure out someway to hook up motor output functions to the device so that it would appear that you could maneuver through the reality.

What else would it take? Any ideas?

I’m talking about the technology that many sci-fi writers dream about. A computer with no monitor, keyboard or mouse but one that plugs into a persons head and completely immerses them in a virtual world so that all their sensory perception is simulated. The internet will become reality and people will be able to live their entire lives online. Their organic bodies will be just meat and organs that supports mental energy. We will have this technology one day. The key is to learn the language in which the brain communicates and early experiments with lab rats have shown promise. Do you think this will be the next great stage in human development?
