Eye Gear
--------------
Last week, while loitering around I met a friend who was heading towards the entertainment zone for kids. I chose to tag along.
It was a beautiful setup with a lot of fun filled stuff lined up for kids and surprisingly, a few that allowed adults too.
Initially I was apprehensive to try hands on anything considering it was an opportunity for the kids to enjoy.
However one of the tables was quite unoccupied and I thought of giving it a shot.
It was an eye-gear that I and my eye had never tried. The idea was to wear it below the forehead covering the eyes and strapped from behind. The next step was to face a LED display and stand upright.
At the juncture where countdown to the ride begun, all my eyes could see was a visual in front of me.
The actual stuff was happening on the screen. It was a roller coaster ride. The eyes were completely covered and a 3D experience had initiated. It gave a feel as if I am on the ride.
The difference was that I was standing instead of being seated.
This situation was clearly signalling the brain in 2 directions. The ride experience in 3D (to make it look real) and the posture of my body (standing straight).
To my Head, this was a conflict. The brain comprehended the happening through the medium of eyes and its calculation of the theory that it is scary to stand while the ride was on.
In Reality, it was only happening in the exterior and not to my body.
However, the brain was constantly getting indications that the body will fall down (based on the input coming through eyes) since the ride is on and the body is not at rest.
This circle of events started creating a turbulence and the brain would signal back demanding a balance and Hence the body lost its state of equilibrium and would keep moving.
How funny was that! It was factual, nonetheless.
Doesn't the same thing happens in real life?
A thought germinates. Raring to thrill. Cultivates an idea. A bunch of brainstorming sessions start happening within. Ultimately, some adverse signals traverse and brain resonates otherwise. The anticipated action plan gets fizzled out and I happily slip into the comfort zone.
For instance, I have been wanting to write this experience since 5 days and finally it shaped out today.
