Real change through virtual reality | David Sackman | TEDxEastEnd

[@KateStellar]

I now see the massive benefit this technology can bring us globally. EXCELLENT Talk! Looking forward to being a part of this world.

[@BarryWeber1]

Well done Dave. It is always good to see passion oriented at the common good.

[@YVZSTUDIOS]

Impressive. Hard to think that this video is already 1 year old! #theFutureIsAlreadyThere

[@HalkerVeil]

+YVZ STUDIOS (Naruyami Yuki) Hard to believe my Oculus DK2 is this old. I feel like I just got it.

[@MsGnor]

Thanks for sharing; very interesting and well presented talk.

[@Ludguallon]

I love my VR headset. This talk covers the pros of positive behavior encouragement. But it brings forth the question, what about behavior manipulation for control? Fear, obedience, submission? Just a thought.

[@MaryEMartin]

This is amazing. I'm particularly interested in the use of virtual reality in situations where a head set is not needed. That is like the projection of the concert in which you can walk around. Do you need a headset to see or experience this?

Now imagine virtual reality being as long as your life span, and you are learning here and now why you stepped into this virtual life-ality. When you offer your hand, you offer your mind. The body is an image within the virtual. A light that goes on and off is imagined, therefor it is not non-imagined. All separation is imagined along with on and off. We all experience as one. Meaning, we are all one being having many virtual experiences. The depth of virtual experience can near the infinite yet never reach it, which means it really gets nowhere close! So the infinite is the wearer of the virtual. You identify with the infinite and we identify all as one. It already is as you thinking a virtual matter about you. What is a real choice while experiencing the virtual? Maybe that the virtual never exists, all that you imagine never did, You imagined the virtual. We as I, imagined the virtual. Let all schools of mind be one school of the universe. I have learned a lot, and about nothing at all. What I learned goes with me, as it goes with you, for we all go together. Overestimate as much as you can of who we all are, you will see that you can not overestimate the one infinite. The toys of virtuality comes from you like the tips of the wave of thought. Ah the grand ocean of one and the eternal sky, one with the ocean. Time and space, virtual toys we can let down. Stories of thought is a toy maker of the mind. A true thought is one of remembering who you are. All as one without expectation. Without any obstacles to peace. For perfect peace is where your joy shines. They are one in you. Stop for an instant and be the one with all that knows. One being, one knowledge, one observer, one with all. All separation is imagined. The flowers of thoughts return to the soil of reality. The true thought rests on the flowers that brought you here. Give by letting go. Nothing needs doing as you already are where you are. The virtual is fading as the knowledge of the virtual is learned by the world, the universe, the all. Find peace in our unity. Let it be onto you as the shadows fade away in your eternal light.

All I want is immortality after I die by uploading my brain into a computer simulation. I really, really want that.

[@noviceangler8084]

Come to Somnium Space ( v1 download from steam ) , We are making a live forever part of our program in VR. Wanna live forever , we could help .

[@orelskivis]

I thought you want to wake up fight and do something so that this world would be a better place for all of us. What is the use of immortality in a world like it is today with so much wars greed ilness problems

[@trg1408]

So damn interesting!!

[@dimitridehouck9506]

Lol 2015, hello occulus quest. I love how fast progress is going. Feel free to laugh with my comment if you read this after 2022.

[@DukeRaven]

I agree with using Virtual Reality to create empathy and for the good of our race. But notice how I said our race, not my race. The one thing in this video that annoyed me is the suggestion that we humans are of different races; we are not. We are of different countries, different ethnicities, but not of a different race. It's a small thing of language, but it needs to be sorted out, stop using the word race and start using the word ethnicity or country please.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Today - I can proudly say that VR removed my fear of stepping off buildii iii ii i i ...

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

This guy,no disrespect reminds me of the older gentleman who created Jurassic Park in the movie.

[@iron1215]

i just want to play game and have fun...not another tool for elites to manipulate others.

[@inzoloff8034]

Unfortunately, i suspect the elites will again get what they want.

[@HalkerVeil]

"It's just a game, it doesn't make me a killer" Says many people in society and certain studies they point to. Yet the military uses 'games' and VR to train. And these studies in VR show a real effect. Someone has it wrong.

[@gorannovaks]

A lot of games have instructions how to neutralize targets, but few will try it in real life.. at least without strong reason to do it, to try at least. The neuro-muscular inputs are different as physics, so this could work not as have to, even if you know what object to use, angle and place to hit.

[@60pfennig]

if its true what he is saying, not only the good things would influence you. also bad things, like killing, torturing or propaganda, would lead your subconscious in a direction you dont want it to be. not sure about this

[@wallhack7244]

If we put a feminist into VR as a man to look in the mirror, will this develop empathy towards man?

[@yottoo.5037]

This man sounds so naive and nearsighted, it's painful. Basically, he's saying he wants VR to replace human imagination. And he only sees pros, totally unable to imagine cons or how this technology could be horrifically misused in the wrong hands; that's the first red flag.

[@Patthomand]

George clooney with chromosome glitch.

[@lustchievous]

Kinda sexist dude, assuming women need their confidence built up.....how about the glass ceilings removed? Other than that, great video and fantastic ideas.

[@Psynergi]

Its not an assumption, when its backed by science and statistics.
