Modelling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Virtual Reality is a new type of media that reconstructs real world events and models of the real world. Virtualized Reality enables users to select their own viewpoints at view time, independent of the actual camera positions used to capture the event. The virtual reality world consists of real images in a 3-dimensional space that have in-depth computerized information. These virtual worlds are built by hand or using CAD tools. Virtual Reality Worlds are an important area of Virtualized Reality, for example, surgical training could be enhanced by enabling the trainees to explore the virutualized operation at their will, preventing the risk of error. This new media can also be used for entertainment purposes such as Virtual Reality games, shows and also movies. This new media has a very bright future and its future uses and capabilities are yet to be known.

The Next New Thing

From my point of view i would like to see a number of changes in Baruch College, as there is always room for improvement. One of my innovative ideas would be to create a college campus so the students could hang out during breaks instead of having to stay outside on the block in front of out school. This would make Baruch a more welcoming school and students would have a comfortable personal environment away from the public, where they can socialize and interact. Now instead of running off home students would spend more time in school, which would then decrease the number of classes they may cut.

Advice to Baruch College

Being that Baruch College is in the heart of manhattan and its a cuny school its very different from other colleges. Most of the students work part time jobs and live on their own, so they don't have the freedom that most students get during their college years. So my advice to Baruch would be to implement programs where the students can interact more with one another and become more evolved with current events, activities, and other fun activities so they can be relieved briefly from the pressure of normal day life. I'm speaking from a personal level because I don't feel like I'm fully getting that college experience that most enjoy, due to my hectic new york city lifestyle.
