This is a strange platform, watching friends climb, throwing themselves into the helmet, and then suddenly starting to twist wildly and rushing into the air in the direction. However, video game fans are used to it. They encounter such a scene every day in the video mall. Virtual reality is the latest and most popular computer game type. Players like it very much, because it is the first game, which makes them feel as if they are really taking action by their side. Through virtual reality magic, you can become a robot to enter or open the boxing ring, just put on your helmet and strengthen your control. Speaking of reality, you think the key is the helmet. It will cover your eyes and ears and interfere with your normal vision and hearing. Turn on the switch and you will re-surround the sights and sounds of the game world. In boxing, you will hear cheering crowds, and a loud call indicates the announcer's voice. Then you find yourself standing in the ring, facing a huge and dangerous opponent. The first bell rang and you left in a hurry. You can even choose one or two player options to make your face' retype' to belong to a friend! Since the first video game was pointed out 15 years ago, game developers have been making plans to improve the realism of their games. Their latest products, so-called interactive games, including the most advanced game technology are constantly developing. Virtual reality game is the most complicated one. When talking about video games, it is important to understand the difference between passive interaction and entertainment. Watching TV is passive: you sit in the chair cover in front of the TV and take away everything displayed on the screen. You did nothing but open your eyes. Listening to the radio can't be called interaction because you don't actively participate in what you say and what you hear. But this is a more passive activity than watching TV, because you use your imagination to fill in the images and sounds you hear less. Computer games are interactive, because your behavior will affect the outcome of the game:

If you don't find the right secret tunnel, you can't escape from the evil castle unless you avoid the traps along the way, you die and the game is over. In virtual reality, you have reached a new level of interaction. There are images and sounds around you,

Thanks to the helmet and some very expensive computer technology, you can change from simply watching or playing games to experiencing it.

You can hang on a helicopter and monitor the ground far under your feet. Or walk around 180 and see the bad guys coming behind. The creator of virtual reality is far from finished. They dream of coming to a game world one day, where players can separate the real things that can't be distinguished. It will make people feel, even taste and smell, the environment they strengthen. According to game developers, it's only a matter of time.

Abir Gates talks; Chairman of Microsoft Corporation; CNN's interview with Larry King

Larry King: Me, Amy, here is a computer that can talk to you. I wonder if e-mail will replace the post office in the future.

Bill Gates: E-mail will not replace the post office, but it will replace a lot of paper. The post office and its surroundings will provide all-night service today.

Wang: Are you worried that your children will not learn calligraphy because they always have keyboards and printers around them?

Gates: When I was at school, I always felt unfair. Children who happen to have poor handwriting will be given a lighter punishment. Obviously, everyone needs to learn basic writing skills. We hope that children have a basic communication ability and be fully supplemented. My older child, who is more concerned about who can only use calculators, may not be able to master the basic knowledge of mathematics without learning multiplication and division.

King: Do you have any used pencils and paper?

Gates: People will use pencils and paper for a long time, but now they don't use them as much as possible.

Wang: Tell me how computers will be used in ordinary families in 30 years.

Gates: Your house has many walls covered with ultra-thin flat panel monitors, and you will carry a handheld device with you. The screen will provide any visual information you want, from a place in the world that can be said to be an art replica or a stock quotation machine, real-time video.

Wang: When was the power cut off?

Gates: We. Rely on electricity again today, and we will still do so 50 years later. If there is a power outage, you won't have much work to do, although the battery technology will be improved enough (so that a short power outage may not necessarily shut down all your computers.

Kim: Are we from Internet TV, news and entertainment instead of cable TV, which is addicted to TV?

Gates: News and Entertainment will provide cable TV and telephone contact from the Internet in our homes. We will use this information on various devices, some of which will be similar to today's TV.

Wang: Can a person work in the future without any computer skills now?

Gates: We will still work for people without computer skills, but the proportion is less than today. People who lack computer skills in the workforce will reduce the proportion of people who have not received training in these skills or retired. The computer skills of most young people, or at least make them motivated.

Wang: Describe the future office. Telephone? Fax machine? Conference room? There will be an office building?

Gate:

The key factor of the future office is that it will have many flat-screen TVs like your home, and there will be many. Once these screens are thin enough, cheap enough and of high quality enough, they will be everywhere. You will carry a light screen.

Take your wallet, mobile phone or newspaper with you today. A concept will disappear, because fax documents will be transmitted without going through the intermediate stage of electronic printing on paper. If the recipient wants to read the document, she will print "telephone", which means only audio electronic communication link, and we will continue to have this connection. But I think that only audio communication will be the exception, not the rule. Communication usually involves video, which will provide discussions, files or some other type of data exchange to work with separate audio. We will have a conference room, but in some meetings, participants can connect electronically in other places. When face to face is not important, some people will attend at home. Office buildings, even cities, may lose their importance, because some employees in the Internet and intranet or network companies connected to the Internet enable workers to communicate, enjoy information, store data and work together, no matter where they are. Does the king have any worries about the future?

Gates: The rapid growth of the world population worries me. We need to encourage people to pay attention to the fact that food and water resources are in short supply on this planet.

Too many people think about the consequences of pollution, and too many people crowd the city center with drugs and violence.
