I want to look deeper into the modern development of VR technology and how it will be used in the future. This is extremely important in our current social climate amidst the pandemic and testing VR properly now while most places are in lockdown may lead to an interesting future. I actually have some images I made in a previous project to showcase this and I hope to delve deeper into this concept.
Children would be influenced by the use of VR and it can introduce an extra layer of creativity to the classroom. As someone who owns a VR headset, I have worked with 3D modeling purely in VR and it provides a mess-free art project for children. Just as the internet was introduced to classroom settings, I believe that VR will join within the next 15 years.
I was also looking into the world-building aspect, akin to Minecraft, as humans can create their own worlds without harming the real environment. Another popular example of world-building, albeit on a smaller scale, is Animal Crossing New Horizons.
However, just as promising VR can be, it can just as easily warp people's minds with the illusion of power over their digital reality as well as negligence of their true reality.

A.J. I think this topic is deeply interesting. While we think of VR and AR mostly in terms of entertainment, it will impact many aspects of our lives as corporations explore how to capitalize on it and people explore how to apply it to education, communication, science, medicine and so much more. And while it minimizes our consumption of some materials, it comes with its own environmental, social and other implications. It's wonderful that you've picked a topic you clearly have personal interest in.
