Virtual World: the revolution towards the new World

Virtual World, a world that is real, near yet so far, unreal.

there are different virtual worlds that were right now. Virtual Worlds from role playing games mostly MMORPG. Gamers expect this to be their virtual worlds but its not. Its real but unreal. you can interact with other people control your own character. Yet so unreal, because of "Control". Everything in MMORPG is about control. And there is some restrictions in your controls.
For example, in the world of Ragnarok Online, one of the most famous online games. The feeling inside this world feels like your in a real ancient world of kings and knights. The interaction between people is like your in a real world. There is a currency also, merchants and guilds. But, there is something lacking in this world. the restrictions in its movements. You can move, you can use skill but the movements for the skills are restricted. Since characters were sprites for each movements. 
Another virtual world from a game is from the game "Dragon Nest". MMORPG/ Dungeon crawler  game. it has the features of the present world, 3D. it feels like the world is more real than its ancestors. its like your in a real world of magics, kings and knights. the movements were improved. There are movements like rolling side rolls and feels like you are really fighting monsters and casting magics. However, just like the ancestors of the game. the control is what binds it to be real. it was controlled by the use of a controller pads or keyboards. In reality its this virtual worlds were look like real but yet its unreal because of movements restriction.

Another game that opens a virtual world is the social game, Second Life. its a social game featuring a virtual world were people found themselves in a virtual world that looks like the real world. with the different people in different country. the interaction to people is also there. the movements were more likely like the real world.

But, just like other games this is real and like near to virtual world but yet so far from it and far from being real. Why? because of the principle, "Controls". the Character/Avatar in this game is not yet controlled thoroughly by the gamer. Another is, the person controlling is really not in the game.

The world for this games were simulation. simulation controlled by the gamers.
But what exactly is a virtual world?
Do you know who's this fictional character is?
If your answer is NO. You need to know this ficitonal womanizer(just kidding). but most of all you need to read this novel written by the author of this novel.

If your answer is YES. I think you know what I want to say about a virtual world.



This came from a light novel turned animation from japan, Sword Art Online. its a VRMMORPG. a true virtual world. Yes, the first books/season is about a nerdy like killing of people. But it opened the possibility that a virtual world might be near to be real. its a virtual world that almost what the mind can control it can be controlled virtually. Its a world were reality is virtual. not a simulation were you control an avatar. but having a real virtual body inside a real virtual world.

How is it possible? This is possible and what can be visioned by the mind can be done for real. there are some principles that it does need to research more.
1. Nervous System - occulus rift started to go virtual. however, there is only one sense that can be used virtually right now, the sense of vision. there is a need to have more research about the brain. on how does the brain or the mind control the movement of every joints, inside the body. I'm not good about the nervous system of the person. But if you have read the novel Sword Art Online. You may understand what I meant. if movements can control virtually by the use of the mind. Even its just the movements, this will be break the norms and start a revolution about the virtual reality.

2. computer memory size. Doing 3D needs to have big memory. We can see it right now. If the game is 3D, the minimal memory of the game would be 1GB. but if we want to make the virtual world, this needs a Very Big memory size. more than Giga and more than Terra.

3. Centralized service provider. A village needs a gate. A castle has gate. and there will always be a main entrance. if we want to go virtual, there is a need to have a main entrance. Right now, Internet connections right now were provided by different internet service providers or ISPs. In short ISPs provide different entrances to the virtual world right now. What we need is a uniform service provider that open as main entrance to virtual world. An entrance by the real world to a new Virtual World.

Maybe this is just imagination. maybe some find this as a crazy idea of blogger not known in this world. But everything starts crazy. Apple Mac is just a crazy idea. Disney is a crazy idea. everything starts a crazy idea. this might be crazy but Virtual World is possible to come and is starting to come in hand. And if the real virtual world would be created, this would make a revolution. it may start like a pandora's box for all the virtual reality. Even the so called "Augmented virtual reality"
