The risks of Virtual Reality

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There is not only the positive things about virtual reality. The worst case this kind of systems can be used for torture. Virtual reality torture is purely psychological, and it would not leave any physical marks. But many people think that they can resist these modern systems, and I think that they are wrong. If the virtual reality system would connect to the systems, what observe the function of the nervous system, the resistance would be impossible, In this case, the system uses effects, that causes fear for most people. The idea of psychological torture would be, that the persons fear and other feelings are used in this kind of actions.


The system shows the picture, and then smells the fear, and then it would increase the number of those effects, and in the real life, this kind of extortion is very nasty. In fact, the virtual reality would also cause PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), if the player plays too realistic computer games. This technology can use in the military training, that the helmet cameras films, what are pictured in the combat situations, would be played to other persons.


That could help them survive in the real situation. And in those films can be involved effects, what is like in some computer games, and that allows to make ultra-realistic combat simulators, where those operators cannot realize, what is true and what is the simulation. And that would give military commander ability to create faked experiences of battles, and that would help to cover the truth. And if some of those persons would be spoken, their stories would be only lying or production of imaginations.


 In fact, the Virtual Reality can be used with chemical agents, what would decrease the level of consequence. In this case, the Virtual Reality would use to cause false memories for the person, who will be targeted to that process. And this kind of use could be very dangerous because the system allows making memories, where the person believes, that he or she might make serious crimes.

There are not many so good movies about PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and flashbacks than the "Sixth Sense". When we are thinking about the classic so-called “softcore-horror” or supernatural movies, we cannot miss one particular masterpiece. And that is the fictional film, where Bruce Willis makes the very good role in one psychiatrist, who will be murdered. In the film is very strong feeling, that something would not be right, and the mean of that film is rise thoughts on the person’s head. Those thoughts are “how those very dramatic things could be found?”.


One of the thoughts what I must ask during all the film is, “How the shooter knew that this particular man was a psychiatrist, who kept the receipts in his home?”. This movie is so-called “different horror movie”, where is not so dramatic effects than usually. But the movie is very good work and it will act after years.


And I sometimes think that did Shyamalan meant that the wife of that psychiatrist was killed her husband for revenge? Did she married man, who made the error in his job and caused the death of the woman’s first husband? Or at sometimes I have thought that is this psychiatrist meant as the example of the serial killer?


Does the fictional character, what was played by Bruce Willis actually so many errors, that this character cannot only make them on purpose. In the scene, where this man takes the boy to the hospital, he should use the psychiatric unit in that therapy. And here we must understand, that if the psychiatrist would write the receipts in the home, could many things go wrong. And in that movie, the psychiatrist works too close to his patient.


When we are thinking about the “sixth sense”, we must say that the cause of the phenomenon would be very easy to explain. The person who sees or knows something like before somebody has spoken about it might be in the similar situation before. And that’s why the memories would come to the mind so powerful, that they would feel the real thing. In the case of an accident, the very young child would store the situation in the mind.


And after the years would those memories raise in the mind. PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) can cause amnesia and then the powerful feedback in the mind. And this disease is very common in military men, but also other strong situations like accidents can cause this syndrome. The cause of PTSD is the normally strong stressful situation, what store in the memory of the people.


And the flashbacks are causing, that person would go in the similar situation what caused the PTSD. And then the physical images like the smell and visible objects causes that memories would come to the knowledge. The only needed thing is that the person sees the similar picture, what caused the PTSD. And that will cause the flashback and helps the person return the memory in the knowledge.
