¶ … Earlier this month an Italian research team jointly authored a research article titled "Affective Basis of Judgment-Behavior Discrepancy in Virtual Experiences of Moral Dilemmas," with the results of their findings published in the scholarly journal Social Neuroscience. Lead by cognitive neuroscience specialist Indrajeet Patel, the research team sought to explore how an individual's response to hypothetical value judgments and moral dilemmas may be altered when presented with a virtual reality experience simulating the same moral dilemma. According to the research team's explanation of their experiment provided in the Abstract, "although research in moral psychology in the last decade has relied heavily on hypothetical moral dilemmas and has been effective in understanding moral judgment, how these judgments translate into behaviors remains a largely unexplored issue due to the harmful nature of the acts involved,"1 but by using a virtual reality desktop...
In the authors' collective estimation, the gulf between non-utilitarian judgments made by subjects exposed to textual moral dilemmas (in which people tend to abstain from making choices which may result in the death of another), and the utilitatian behavior demonstrated by people in similar real-world situations (in which the tendency is to save as many lives as possible) by testing subjects' responses to textual and virtual reality dilemmas.

In describing the structure of their experimental design, the researchers reveal that a total of 40 healthy test subjects between the ages of 18 and 28 were selected for participation, with the classic…

Virtual Reality Virtually reality is a broad term that is used in regards to a computer simulated environment that can simulate a real world experience or an imaginary world that can be rather creative. Most of these computer simulations are primarily based on a visual experience however more sensory information is also being created and intergrade into the experience as well. These systems are mostly used for either training or entertainment;
VIRTUAL REALITY & ITS APPLICATIONS Information Systems This paper will describe the basic components of virtual reality. The paper will also provide a variety of practical applications for this technology in many industries. The paper is a brief summary and brief comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of virtual technology. Virtual technology has been in existence for decades and as time passes, its integration in mainstream culture and everyday life increases.
virtual reality event at a museum. I was really excited to go because I'm always interested in learning more about technological innovation and how it is used in different ways. The new virtual reality technology out there involves the use of multiple cameras that record in all directions and are thus used to create experiences using the captured imagery. The image is thus viewed through the virtual reality goggles. I
Super-violence is a new term that defines violence in a grand and exaggerating way. (Klare 16) Seen as an era of constant warfare and violence, it has made its way into entertainment and media. Whether it is chopping the heads of people and seeing the blood from their bodies gush like champagne fountains or seeing throats slit by children, today's media has taken on a new level of violence that
Despite the existence of this notion, juxtaposition enables montage to deal with cut and paste contradictory pieces and the concept of visual language. This enables the achievement or development of new meaning of the images. It is ideal to note that mass media images were put together, though fake and clumsy, are productive in the production of documentary picture in relation to history (Jenkins 2006, p. 214). This enables
Virtual Religious Service Islam is a religion of great misconceptions and of immense misunderstanding. It was because of this same notion that this religion in particular was of great interest. With all the negative publicity that Islam receives in the media, people only get exposed to the violent extremists that represent a minute minority of this religion. A picture of violence and death is flashed on the television daily, forcing many
