Here start the phsycologicals problems of VR, Human able to create a world??? Is sound like the dream of all the human beign, from the early ages of the civilisation to our contemporary societies, HOW TO CREATE A WORLD Where we will have all powers, be able to do what we want, exactly as we whant????? So, what the human beign used to do is to express his ideas of a wonderful world through art and more especially through plastics arts such as: Sculpture (3D), peinture(2D) and architecture (3D and 2D); WARNING !!! Anyone trying to define his own world, and to try to stay on it for his life, will do an illegal attempt to redefine the human being, and all our perception and understanding of what are we as human being, TAKE CARE!!!! it is like "Opening a box of Pandore !!"(from a french expression) we do not know what's inside . Do we have to create a new kind of humans I hope we'll not going to try that. We will soon heard about this kind of news: The Virtual Presidency (Try to find who is the president !!) of the World at HIT- Lab have bannished two people who attempted to redefine the virtual-World illegaly, they entered the Main system and tryed to change the VR Laws, esspecially the Logics rules and paradigms. By chance, they have been discovered on time and the Cirle is know continuing to fit the square. And the teapot (of course the Utah's one) is still empty of Virtual-LSD (With free access).
