Video Game Innovation for Therapy, Physical Healthy, and Right Brain Intelligence

   The ancients generation (X Generation, was born before 1981) argue that playing video games only wasted time, money, and make players stupid. In ancient times, video games still rare, and the kids at that time played real games or traditional games such as kite, marbles, etc. It called real games because the players face to face each other and do real interactions. It was important for their personality
     Now, playing video games has many benefit, such as therapy, phisycal healthy, right brain intelligence, business (game tester and pro gamer are expensive job), entertainment, etc.

I am Interested in Trying Virtual Reality (VR)

1. For therapy
   Research conducted by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Charite Medicine states that video games can directly affect brain structures involved in the process when playing video games. In layman's terms, playing video games can improve right brain intelligence. When we are busy with school, college, and work routines that are predominantly using the left brain, of course the right brain needs to be balanced. People who are good at left and right brains tend to be successful and happy in their lives. Right-brain activity varies in types, can be by music, painting, and also playing video games. Moreover, video games today are increasingly sophisticated and various types, have put forward the elements of body movements (such as the Nintendo Wii and Virtual Reality), so that more functions are added as a means of sports. In fact, playing video games can be a solution for treatment of problems with memory. Alzheimer's degenerative diseases that sufferers often forget, can be improved by remembering how to play video games.
      Beside Alzheimer disease, play video games (such as Nintendo Wii) could accelerate injury recovery. If muscle didn't trained for a long time (because of injury), it could cause paralysis. Train patients to move or walk like training the babies.

2. Physical healthy
      Playing video game (with moving activity such as play dancing, music, and sport) is good for our physical healthy. If we play with friends or family, we would do it with happiness and don't feel tired. But, calories have burned quite a lot. Not only burn the calories, but also build muscle. I think playing video games is a simple aerobic with fun activity.

3. Right Brain Intelligence
     Routines that we do everyday use mostly left brain, such as studying, working, debate, etc. So, it must be balanced with right brain activity to prevent stress. Right brain activites such as playing music, singing, dancing, comedy, drawing, worship, and of course playing video game. Playing video game (of course quality game) could increase imagination and business intuition. It's a good for visionary goals.

       Playing reality video games today could increase right brain intelligence effectively. They are consist of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR).
a. VR is a completely digital environtment that fully replaces the real world.

b. AR is a overlay of digital content on the real world.

c. MR is when the virtual environment is not just overlaid on the real world, but it's anchored to and interacts with it (source: www.quora.com).

MR. Source: medium.com

       I think MR is the most complex reality video games, because it combine VR and AR to provide better experience and quality. MR need higher cost than VR and AR, so if we want to buy MR games, it need higher cost too.
