- The power of virtual reality to create a deeper human connection between people and give us the ability to learn more about ourselves. Alethea C. Avramis is a producer and writer/director who works at the intersection of VR/AR and traditional filmmaking, as well as the LA-based producer of French immersive content studio “Atlas V”. Recently, she has been on the producing teams of the Sundance and Tribeca 2018 VR official selections “BattleScar” and the “SPHERES: Songs of Spacetime”, narrated by Jessica Chastain and Patti Smith and co-produced with Darren Aronofsky. “SHERES” made Sundance history as the first-ever VR project to be acquired in a 7-figure deal by a private investor. She has also produced the Sundance 2016 and Tribeca 2016 official selection Perspective: Chapter 2; The Misdemeanor, widely considered one of the best examples of narrative storytelling in VR. In 2016, Alethea collaborated with Google on RUclipsRED's first series in 360, MatPat's Game Lab. Alethea’s traditional filmmaking work has screened at hundreds of film festivals globally and won an Emmy for her short film The Foreigner in 2013. She has worked extensively in Europe, Africa, central America, and Los Angeles. With a focus on human-rights and documentary storytelling, Alethea is passionate about content that connects cultures through new technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
That strange title made me click on the video, it really as worth the time
I lost my mother and father and my brothers and sisters in the war in Syria and I was alone ... A refugee in one of the neighboring countries of Syria I was losing my resolve but when I watch TED episodes translated I feel hope
I am 63 and far from being frightened by VR- I am so optimistic about what it can bring.
The reality is not as happy, though. HOW do you solve the issues of nausea? Isn't that the big problem?
I want to travel the world and see it all as though I were there. I am no longer physically able to travel easily. I WANT GOOD VR but I do not want to vomit.
I do want to experience some of the events that I would never live. THAT is why I read books- I get to 'live' another life through the pages and perspectives.
There are bands that you can put on your wrist, they press on specific nerves and stop the nausea, I'm pretty sure they have something like this that you can also put on your neck.
In my opignon the nausea is a normal reaction we can't totally avoid. Your body stays connected to the physical world, and he senses it. I believe we can only reduce it by adapting the hardware, adapting the content so your body don't get mad with how different eye and balance signals are. But I also believe it has a lot to do with habit. Next generation's brain will probably get used to it naturally, but we can train. It's your own mind that you must train, so I'd recommend approaching a "meditation" approach.
ps : I mean, sure, if you go the exoskeleton way, you could control every human senses and then avoid the nausea by having a fully immersive experience. We're not there yet tho

I feel like full body exosuit won't really take hold with the public.
That's a lot of expensive equipment that most people can't afford, so there's not really any money in making them.
I study VR years ago. Are you referring to seasickness bands?
Thank you.
Love your show 💓💗💗💓
Im fascinated
it not the only medium that can do this the video game industry has been doing it for decades
BEAUTIFUL CONTENT ………

Not grasping fundamental emotions.
This, will only complicate things.
Dangerous game we are playing.

Wow so knowledgeful speech ..
Is that blanka from street fighter?
Cool sales pitch.. how is VR even profitable right now? Who is subsidizing? If you need VR to put yourself in someone else's shoes, you might be broken.
Right lol. You're going to see it without feeling the pain. It's not the same it's just being a weirdo.

30 facts about Islam.
1) "Islam" means "Peace through the submission to God".
2) "Muslim" means "anyone or anything that submits itself to the will of God".
3) Islam is not a cult. Its followers' number is over 1.5 billion worldwide. Along with Judaism and Christianity, it is considered to be one of the three Abrahamic traditions.
4) There are five pillars of practice in Islam. These practices must be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true Muslim: A) Shahadah - declaration of faith in the oneness of God and that Muhammad is the last Prohet of God. B) Formal prayer five times a day. C) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan. D) Poor-due "tax" - 2.5% of one's savings given to the needy at the end of each year. E) Pilgrimage to MeKka at least once, if physically and financially able.
5) There are six articles of faith in Islam. These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: A) the One God. B) all the Prophets of God. C) the original scriptures revealed to Prophets Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad. D) the Angels. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. F) the Divine decree (or destiny).
6) Islam is a complete way of life that governs all facets of life: moral, spiritual, social, political, economical, intellectual, etc.
7) Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. To become Muslim, a person of any race or culture must say a simple statement, the shahadah, which means bearing witness to the belief in the One God and that Prophet Muhammad is the last Prophet of God.
8."Allah" is an Arabic word that means "God". Muslims also believe that "Allah" is the proper noun of God.
9) Allah is not the God of Muslims only. He is the God of all people and all creations. Just because people refer to God using different terms does not mean that they are different gods. Spanish people refer to God as "Dios" and French people refer to God as "Dieu", yet they are all the same God. Interestingly, most Arab Jews and Arab Christians refer to God as "Allah". And the word Allah in Arabic appears on the walls of many Arab churches.
10) The Islamic concept of God is that He is Loving, Merciful, and Compassionate. But Islam also teaches that He is Just and swift in punishment. Nevertheless, Allah once said to Prophet Muhammad, "My Mercy prevails over My Wrath." Islam teaches a balance between fear and hope, protecting one from both complacency and despair.
11) Muslims believe that God has revealed 99 of His Names (or Attributes) in the Holy Qur'an. It is through these Names that one can come to know the Creator. A few of these Names are: the All-Merciful, the All-Knower, the Protector, the Provider, the Near, the First, the Last, the Hidden, and the Peace.
12) Muslims believe in and acknowledge all the Prophets of God, from Adam to Jesus. Muslims believe that they brought the Message of peace and submission (Islam) to different peoples at different times. Muslims also believe that these Prophets were "Muslims" because they submitted their wills to God.
13) Muslims neither worship Muhammad nor pray through him. Muslims solely worship the Unseen and Omniscient Creator, Allah.
14) Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (the Gospel of Moses) and the original Gospel (the Gospel of Jesus) since they were revealed by God. However, none of those original scriptures are in existence today, in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final, and preserved Revelation of God, the Holy Qur'an.
15) The Holy Qur'an was not authored by Muhammad. It is the speech of God, revealed to Muhammad, and written into physical form by his companions.
16) The Holy Qur'an has neither flaws nor contradictions. The original Arabic scriptures have never been changed or tampered with.
17) Actual seventh century's copies of the Holy Qur'an, complete and intact, are on display in museums in Turkey and many other places around the world.
18) If all copies of the Holy Qur'an in the world today were burned and destroyed,
the original Arabic would still remain. This is because over 11 million Muslims memorise it, verbatim; they are called Hafiz (or "preservers") they have memorized the Quranic text letter for letter from beginning to end, every word and syllable. Also, chapters (Surahs) from the Qur'an are precisely recited from memory by every Muslim in each of the five daily prayers.
19) Muslims do not believe in the concept of "vicarious atonement" but rather believe in the law of personal responsibility. Islam teaches that each person is responsible for his or her own actions. On the Day of Judgment, Muslims believe that every person will be resurrected and will have to answer before God for their words, thoughts, and deeds. Consequently, a practicing Muslim is always striving to be righteous.
20) Islam was not spread by the sword. It was spread by the word (Islamic teachings) and the example of its followers. Islam teaches that there is no compulsion in religion (the Holy Qur'an 2:256 and 10:99).
21) Terrorism, unjustified violence and the killing of innocent people are absolutely forbidden in Islam. Islam is a way of life that is meant to bring peace to a society, whether its people are Muslims or not. The extreme actions of those who claim to be Muslims may be, among other things, a result of their ignorance or uncontrolled anger. Tyrant rulers and those who commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam are simply not following Islam. These people are individuals with their own views and political agendas. Fanatical Muslims are no more representatives of the true Islamic teachings than Timothy McVeigh or David Koresh are of Christianity. Extremism and fanaticism are problems that are common to all religious groups. Anyone who thinks that all Muslims are terrorists should remember that the famous boxer Muhammad Ali, perhaps the most celebrated person of our era, is a practicing Muslim.
22) The word "jihad" does not mean "holy war". Instead, it means the inner struggle that one endures in trying to submit their will to the will of God. Some Muslims may say they are going for "jihad" when fighting in a war to defend themselves or their fellow Muslims, but they only say this because they are considering that it will be a tremendous struggle. But there are many other forms of jihad which are more relevant to the everyday life of a Muslim such as the struggles against laziness, arrogance, stinginess, or the struggle against tyrant transgressors or against the temptations of Satan, or against one's own ego, etc.
23) Women are not oppressed in Islam. Any Muslim man that oppresses a woman is not following Islam. Among the many teachings of Prophet Muhammad that protected the rights and dignity of women is his saying, "...the best among you are those who treat their wives well." (Tirmidhi)
24) Islam grants women numerous rights in the home and in society. Among them are the right to earn money, to financial support, to an education, to an inheritance, to being treated kindly, to vote, to a dowry, to keep their maiden name, to worship in a mosque (masjid), ... etc.
25) Muslim women wear the head-covering (hijab) in fulfillment of God's decree to dress modestly. From a practical standpoint, it serves to identify one as attempting to follow God in daily life and, therefore, protects women from unwanted advances from men. This type of modest dress has been worn by righteous women throughout history such as Mary, the mother of Jesus.
26) Arranged marriages are allowed in Islam but are not required. Whereas "forced" marriages, usually stemming from cultural practice, are forbidden. Divorce is permissible, however, reconciliation is what is most encouraged. But if there are irreconcilable differences then Islam permits a fair and just divorce; only as a last resort if life between both husband and wife proves impossible.
27) Islam and the "Nation of Islam" are two different religions. Islam is a religion for all races and enjoins the worship of the One Unseen God who, Muslims believe , never took human form. The "Nation", on the other
hand, is a movement
geared towards non-whites and teaches that God appeared in the form of Fard Muhammad in 1930 and that Elijah Muhammad (a man who died in 1975) was a prophet of God. These beliefs clearly contradict the basic Islamic theology outlined in the Qur'an. The followers of "the Nation" adhere to some Islamic principles that are mixed with many other teachings that are alien to Islam. To better understand the difference between the two, read about Malcolm X, his pilgrimage to Mecca and his subsequent comments to the media. Islam teaches equality amongst all the races (Holy Qur'an 49:13).
28) Not all Muslims are Arabs. Islam is a universal religion, and a complete way of life , which includes followers from all races of people. There are Muslims in and from virtually every country in the world. Arabs only constitute about 20% of Muslims worldwide. Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims with over 220 million.
29) In the five daily prayers, Muslims face the Kaaba in MeKka, Arabia. It is a cube-shaped stone structure that was originally built by Prophet Adam and later rebuilt by Prophet Abraham. Muslims believe that the Kaaba was the first house of worship on Earth dedicated to the worship of the One and Only God. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba. It serves as a central focal point for Muslims around the world, unifying them in worship and symbolizing their common belief, spiritual focus and direction. Interestingly, the inside of the Kaaba is empty.
30) The hajj is a simultaneous pilgrimage to the Kaaba made by millions of Muslims each year. It is performed to commemorate the struggles of Abraham, Ishmael and Hagar in submitting their wills to God.

This is crazy-talk for crazy people given by a crazy woman. I think woman anyway - not really sure...
I lived in NYC for 44 years, and anytime an Officer confronts you with a suspicion, even though you are innocent, I suggest you follow their procedures. All NYC cops, if not the majority, have HUGE EGOS.
It's not worth you having a bullet in your back, especially when you have nothing to hide. Just rub their EGOS and move along. Is it Fair?
NO, but life it's never Fair to anyone, so get over that.
Now to protect yourself i suggest audio and video recording these tyrants while you are being confronted if possible, make them responsible for their actions.
But taking a bullet for a stupidity is NOT a good choice.
These *tyrants* are the ones defending your life, have a little respect.
If someone breaks into you home, holds you at gunpoint and steals all your money and TV, who are you gonna call when they leave?
Obviously you will call 911 or 913 and have the police come help you!
Of course the cops are more aggressive now days, something no one is mentioning is that police death rate is rising quickly, and is higher then the amount of people getting shot and killed by cops, it's a dangerous job and getting more dangerous, I feel bad for all the people killed by cops, but I also feel bad for the cops.
Have a little respect for the people who keep you safe.
It's sad to have such harsh feelings for someone meant to be helpful and believe it to be justified trough shear prevalence.
@Will Pack
I feel bad if good people die, if bad people die and if a situation kills.
Police officials in Britain prefer shields to guns and get some distance if suspects draw weapons (if only due to the lower prevalence of guns).
Get someone on stage who actually knows about the technology..
Shut up
I've tried VR.
It's terrible.
Did you try augmented reality or the cheap 20 dollar vr with your phone
Rozell🌹🌹 Heh, funny.
