3 Questions to a being who knows it all..

During our first research methods’ class, We were ask something that I consider really interesting. If a “Super Being” all powerful and all mighty walked through the door and he granted you the answer to any 3 questions What would you ask? 

Almost immediately my imagination ran wild from a wide variety of topics, since the winning lottery’s numbers to my nearest future but at the end I came up with a couple of philosophical unknowns like these:

1) Life after dead? What is waiting for after at the end of our days in this planet?                                                                                                       2) What’s the Humanity purpose in the Universe?                                 3) Free Will! Is it real? Are we really the architects of our future or is it everything already predetermine?

And even more questions hit my mind. After all I was in front of a super being with all the answers so what an amazing opportunity to reveal all the secrets in the cosmos. What’s is consciousness? How the universe works? Is there a God? Are we alone in the universe? What existed before the Big Bang? How many dimensions really exist? Even a bigger one came up in the group. What make us Humans? So many questions to ask and only 3 chances to get answers. All of this existential questions have been with us since the beginning of humankind and I have to say that they are quite tricky and so far impossible to answer but for me the beauty of all of them lies in the understanding of the subject questioning it all rather than in the question itself. For me all of them still remain unanswered but the constant curiosity of humans maybe one day will lead us to an amazing discovery.

Virtual reality is gaining ground and companies are investing considerably resources to bring consumers closer to it by reducing the cost of headsets and software. The experience that users can get from VR is highly rewarding in all sense and all senses. Even as simple as painting or sketching the interaction that it give the user is unique, seen your project since a different angle or create a 3D scenario or using this amazing tool to create more content like animations or videogames. In my opinion this is a major development that is about to grow even more, it gives a full interaction and gives the users the feeling of actually being part of it and not only be an viewer.
