3. Question: Discuss the potential use of virtual reality to enhance the

learning experience for new automobile drivers. How

might such a system operate? What are the benefits and

potential drawbacks of such a system?

Answer: Since driving is really dangerous but you want to learn how to drive safely, a driving game or driving lessons can be made through Virtual Reality that provides three-dimensional experience to users. The system can provide specific functionalities of a real car that can be used by the learner in experiencing how to drive. The learner can change the car's gears, stop, accelerate, turn left or right, and if some sort of imperfect driving occurs then the car can also crash, burn, fall to bridges, shakes or bump to other cars. These functionalities of a Virtual Reality can give teach the learner on how to drive carefully and if he or she drives carelessly then accidents might occur. The possible problem of this system might be giving the learner the fear of driving because this gives them the idea that they might crash, and a really good Virtual Reality simulation that has a reality looking accidents can also give trauma to learners.
