Holiday podcast about virtual travel
We invite you to listen to the latest episode of the LET'S TALK ABOUT SCIENCE podcast entitled "Traveling in the future without buying a ticket".
We remain in a holiday mood and the latest episode of the podcast of the Silesian University of Technology is dedicated to travel, and not just any kind. We're talking about virtual travel.
Will it soon be possible to visit the most interesting corners of the world without buying a ticket and leaving home? It turns out that yes. Everything was explained by Dr Eng. Piotr Wodarski supervisor of the Virtual Reality Technology Laboratory at the Silesian University of Technology. – This is already happening, and it will happen on an even larger scale – admitted our interlocutor. - Virtual reality technology is at a very advanced stage. There are already many tools on the market that help us move to another dimension, including 3D projection glasses. Going further, we can also enter 3D world and interact with it, explained Piotr Wodarski.
At the Silesian University of Technology, students create applications that make it possible to move to another reality for a moment, e.g. into a cave or outer space. The latest technologies will soon allow not only to admire the landscapes, but also to touch the attractions and smell the smells of a given place. Special systems may also allow to feel the humidity, temperature and wind in a given place. We talk about this and the possibilities offered by research in VR technology laboratories in the podcast.
We invite you to listen to this and other episodes of the "Let's talk about science" podcast.
