this is an idea i had a while ago. yes, it does use the old topic of virtual reality, but that is just part of it. okay, here goes.
When virtual reality technology is developed, blender might be able to create worlds which you could actually go into. of course, just like in current blender, you’d have to design everything. this doesn’t just mean the modeling and the materials, but also the density of an object, how squishy it is, and all kinds of other stuff like that. Also, you could perform experiments in a perfectly sterile enviroment, not having to worry about unkown variables.
possibly a plant simulator would come out, letting you set the DNA code to determine how the plant would grow and develop. all different kinds of research could be performed.
But there’s one thing that for me would be the best. FUN! who wouldn’t love creating your own world where you freefall thousands of feet to land on a trampoline, which would propel you back up even higher because you reversed the physics settings? or maybe enter a nascar race at speeds unheard. love to snowboard? careen down huge mountains doing incredible stunts, who cares if you get hurt? you can’t! just change a setting so if anything above a certain set level happensto you blender automatically exits itself.
it would make my day an uncountable number of times to be able to play around with this. who knows? maybe someday i will be.
to make a whole world that detailed you would need to spend a lifetime doing it.
i am an industrial designer… i design objects… each object takes 2-5 years to design (for things like dishwashers…) if your virtual reality world were that realistic, then why not live in reality.
however if corners are cut and things are just facades then it would be a lot better/ easier.
you can imagine a tv, but can you imagine everything about the TV, the bevels on it, the shape of the speakers… thats what i do and if it were so easy then why does somthing take 2-5 years and 40+ million dollars to design.

Man you are just negative. Well, at least WE have imaginations
well, I could make it up as I go I say “let there be tv” and there is a basic tv, whatever one I saw last probably, then I look and see it is unbeveled, and go “let there be bevels” it’s a process
I could do it quickly since, unlike you, who has to make things ergonomic, and useful, and realistic, etc… I could make a tv however I desired, who cares if it’s green and purple and round? I hope you see what I mean, you have to make what others will see as a nice tv, I msut only dream up a tv for me.
just to quote you on this, I saw couple of things that alltaken designed as school work, and he probably have more experience -and- imagination than alot of people here

I totally agree.
Gee, sorry i started that whole argument lol. what i might want to explain would be the fact that when i made that post, i didn’t mean you would have to design a whole world. for example, just add a cube. enter the blender virtual reality and there you are, walking around in a untextured cube. kinda boring though. so why not make the gravity less? or add some extremely bouncy spheres? the possibilities would be limitless. and you just made that scene in like, 5 minutes.
To have a fully functional dishwasher though, yeah that would be a pain to make. ah well, nothing’s fun if it’s not a challenge!
