Perhaps, the developers of interactive books and modeling systems do not stop. Very interesting is the creation of books-games in which you can not only see the author's version of the story, but also to change the course of events as you wish. You can create books-games based on popular movies and cartoons, where players could be arbitrarily created to act in the virtual world. The main advantage of such games - an infinite number of variations of the story, because, starting from some initial situation, any further developments would depend on the user's actions. But in order to live in a fairy tale, it is necessary to enter into it, becoming one of the characters invented the world. Today, it is possible using virtual reality - the latest trends in the use of a computer, allowing entering into direct contact with the set up in the artificial world of computer memory. Of course, it requires special equipment: a helmet or glasses with two LCD displays, creating three-dimensional image with stereo sound and tracking the twists and tilts of the head; sensitive to the slightest movements, and, conversely, transferring to the skin formed a computer items of clothing - from gloves, vests and boots to a full suit. All this can be seen only in laboratories, but now virtual reality systems appeared even in shopping malls. Little dreamed, you can imagine a virtual set, allowing living in the world described in the book. The book is laid in the computer and the user is immersed in a waking dream, at the request of creating your own look. If such a system will be connected to a global network, multiple users will be able to live in the same artificial world and interact with each other and with virtual characters. All the advanced technology - telecommunications, multimedia and virtual reality, as well as a variety of media - press, radio, movies, television, the Internet - will merge into a single virtual technology telepresence, and time and space cease to exist for humanity, turning from the objective reality in the abstract the concept. Maybe things will be different. Whatever may have been committed computers and how quickly would not have developed electronic technologies, the most powerful "computing device" is the human brain. Think of your dreams during sleep when the brain is liberated, and his "modeling" capacity reaches a maximum. If computer works only with the world of equations and figures, the living brain processes images at once solid - visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory and taste, with thousands of associations between them.
