What is a simulation?
a computer model to represent a real-life object
How are simulations created?
large volumes of data and mathematical equations producing 3D graphics
When are simulations used?
Pilots learning to fly
Car manufactures testing designs
Architects creating models of buildings
What is virtual reality?
using simulations to recreate 'real experiences' in a virtual world and immerse the user using sensory hardware e.g meta quest headset
What is the benefit of simulations?
No costly fees or long hours/ in-person training
No risk to the person, mistakes are alright and it can be fun.
How are simulations used to train for jobs?
Training courses allow military personnel to practice without a physical set
Body scanners are used to produce a 3D model where surgeons can practice on the virtual patient before carrying it out
How are simulations used in education?
Experiencing experiments that are difficult to perform in class
Virtual field trips or visiting a museum or battle site
