What was the technological news that impacted you the most in 2023? Let's talk about it.

For me, the news of the development of virtual reality and augmented reality technology in 2023 is extremely captivating. I feel that these advances have the potential to profoundly transform the way I interact with the world around me.

I can already see myself diving deeper into more immersive entertainment experiences thanks to virtual reality. Being able to explore virtual worlds, participate in more interactive games and experience captivating adventures in an almost tangible way is an exciting prospect. I also imagine myself enjoying live events, such as concerts or sports shows, without leaving the comfort of my home.

When it comes to augmented reality, I find the idea of integrating digital information into the real world exciting. For example, wearing smart glasses that provide me with real-time contextual data while exploring a city or learning new skills could make my daily life more enriching.

Additionally, professionally, I can envision meaningful applications of augmented reality in areas such as training, where I could benefit from more interactive and hands-on training.

These technological advances also open up horizons for me in the field of education. I can imagine more engaging educational experiences, where abstract concepts come to life before my eyes, making my learning easier.

Is there an impact on society? And tell the possible advantages of this technological advancement.

Yes, I believe the evolution of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology is having a major impact on society due to its significant benefits. I see myself directly benefiting from these advances in my daily life.

First, I imagine myself using AR applications for everyday tasks. For example, when I'm shopping, I could use smart glasses to get real-time product information, reviews from other consumers, or even special promotions. This would simplify my choices and improve my shopping experience.

Professionally, I see the impact of augmented reality in more immersive and collaborative virtual meetings. Being able to interact with 3D models in real time during professional discussions could make complex concepts easier to understand and strengthen cooperation within the team.

In the field of education, I see the advantages of virtual reality to make lessons more lively and interactive. Being able to explore historical places, travel to space, or simulate science experiments right from my classroom would not only be educational but also challenging.

Additionally, I realize that these technologies can reduce geographic barriers. Through virtual meetings and simulated travel in VR, I would be able to interact with people from all over the world without leaving my home, broadening my horizons and perspectives.

If you could venture into a technological advance (medicine, entertainment, daily life, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies), what would that area be and why?

As an educator, I see immense potential in the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in the field of education. I am particularly excited about the prospect of transforming the way I teach and the way students learn.

Let's imagine a classroom where students can have immersive learning experiences through virtual reality. For example, rather than simply reading about ancient civilizations, my students could explore them virtually, walking through ancient cities, observing artifacts, and interacting with historical simulations. This could make learning history more concrete and memorable.

In science, I could use virtual reality simulations to explain complex concepts, allowing students to explore scientific phenomena interactively. They could manipulate molecules, observe chemical reactions or explore the universe on an atomic scale, which would strengthen their understanding of scientific topics.

Augmented reality could also be a powerful tool to enrich the educational experience. By annotating the real world with contextual information, students could access relevant data instantly. For example, on an outdoor excursion, students could use AR glasses to identify plants, animals or geological features, which would enrich their understanding of the world around them.

Additionally, in a distance learning context, virtual reality could recreate a more immersive classroom experience, promoting interaction between students and myself, even remotely.

As an educator, the use of these advanced technologies could not only make learning more attractive and stimulating for students, but also open up new opportunities for innovative pedagogy. This could transform the way I design and deliver my courses, creating a more dynamic and engaging educational environment.

Finally, what do you expect the year 2024 to be like in terms of technological advances and news?

I believe that the year 2024 will witness many surprises at the technological level, with the founder of Facebook insisting on embarking on meta-experiments. As a curious and tech-savvy individual, I expect these meta-experiences to redefine how I engage with technology on a daily basis.

The idea of meta-experiences sparks an intriguing anticipation in me. I wonder how this new technological frontier will influence not only the way I communicate and interact online, but also how it might transform my perception of reality itself. Meta experiences could create even more immersive digital worlds, where my online interactions are closer to real-world experience.

I imagine myself exploring virtual spaces where the boundary between digital and real becomes increasingly blurred. This could mean social encounters in virtual environments, personalized shopping experiences in the digital world, or even collaborative adventures on a completely new scale.

Additionally, I wonder about the impact on data privacy and security in this new meta landscape. As a user, how will my information be used in these advanced digital environments? How do I ensure my meta experiences remain secure and respect my privacy?

The emergence of meta-experiences also raises questions about how virtual and augmented reality might integrate more closely into my daily life. Could I soon use smart glasses to seamlessly access real-time information, or participate in more immersive virtual meetings that transcend the boundaries of the physical world?
