  The Shocking Truth about Virtual...

  Virtual reality (VR) has long been a concept of science fiction, but today, it is a rapidly evolving technology shaping industries, entertainment, and even human interactions. From its early beginnings as a theoretical concept to the sophisticated headsets and immersive environments of today, VR has transformed from a novelty into a powerful tool that influences the way people work, learn, and socialize. While the promise of virtual worlds seems limitless, there are also significant concerns about its long-term effects on society, privacy, and even human psychology.  
  The origins of VR date back further than most people realize. The idea of creating artificial environments that simulate reality can be traced back to the early 20th century. Flight simulators in the 1920s provided the first taste of what would later become VR training programs. In the 1960s, innovators such as Ivan Sutherland and Morton Heilig developed early prototypes of head-mounted displays and immersive cinema experiences. However, technological limitations prevented these early experiments from reaching mainstream adoption. It wasn’t until the late 20th and early 21st centuries that computing power, graphics capabilities, and internet connectivity made VR a viable and widely accessible technology.  
  Breakthroughs in VR hardware and software have enabled increasingly realistic and engaging experiences. High-resolution headsets, motion tracking, and artificial intelligence now allow users to step into digital environments that respond dynamically to their movements and actions. Industries ranging from gaming and entertainment to healthcare and education have embraced VR as a revolutionary tool. Doctors use VR to simulate surgeries, businesses conduct remote meetings in virtual spaces, and educators transport students to historical landmarks without ever leaving the classroom.

  The Frontier Below

  Triumphs and disasters in the deep sea 
  This is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet. 
  We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer. But each advance was fraught with danger, as the intruders had to survive the crushing weight of water, or the deadly physiological effects of breathing compressed air. The vertical odyssey continued when explorers squeezed into heavy steel balls dangling on cables, or slung beneath floats filled with flammable gasoline. Plunging into the narrow trenches between the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust, they eventually reached the bottom of the ocean in the same decade that men first walked on the moon. 
  Today, as nations scramble to exploit the resources of the ocean floor, The Frontier Below recalls a story of human endeavour that took 2,000 years to travel seven miles, then investigates how we will explore the ocean in the future. 
  Meticulously researched and drawing extensively on unpublished sources and personal interviews, The Frontier Below is the untold story of the pioneers who had the right stuff, but were forgotten because they went in the wrong direction. 
  The Frontier Below by Jeff Maynard is a captivating journey through the history of maritime expeditions, the science of physiology, and the economics of resource extraction. It is a testament to human endeavour and the indomitable spirit of exploration, offering a glimpse into the future of our oceans. 
  For fans of Julian Sancton (Madhouse at the End of the Earth), Buddy Levy (Empire of Ice and Stone), Rachel Lance (In the Waves), James Bradley (Ghost Species), and Helen Czerski (Blue Machine).
