【摘要2020.1.1.蘋果】
Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that has truly been changing the game. It’s perhaps best known for its use in video games, giving them lifelike visual effects. Now the same software that powers popular video games like Fortnite is being applied to another field: health care.
Scientists at C4X Discovery are using VR technology in a tool called 4Sight to make it easier to see complex molecules. VR is now being used to develop new drugs to fi ght serious diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
虛擬實境是一種一直在改變遊戲規則的科技。它最為人知的用途也許是在電玩方面,賦予它們逼真的視覺效果。現在,用來驅動像是《要塞英雄》這類著名電玩的同款軟體已被用於另一個領域:醫療保健。
C4X Discovery 的科學家正將虛擬實境科技運用在一種稱為 4Sight 的工具中來使檢視複雜的分子變得更容易。虛擬實境目前也被用來研發新藥來抵抗像是阿茲海默症和帕金森氏症這類的嚴重疾病。
