This man has to wear a one-month virtual reality device to fully experience other people's lives.

Maybe there were one or two moments when your mind flashed over the idea of going through a friend's life, but you know it's basically impossible. But British artist Mark Farid wants to turn this extreme concept into reality.

According to the introduction, he plans to use an art device called seeing-i to reality the idea. Using this virtual reality device, he can experience another person's life throughout, and he plans to experience it for 28 consecutive days. In other words, he will stay in one room for 28 days and experience another person's movements and smile. The device does not live on the life of the person being experienced, who will first record the video in camera, recording the 6-day life of the recorded person, including all private life.

During the period of experience of others ' lives, Mark Farid's only chance to reach out to humans is to communicate with his therapist for one hours a day. In addition, all of his actions are related to the behavior of the person he is experiencing, that is to say, he eats when he eats, and the man takes a bath while he is bathing. The goal of the project is to figure out whether a person's life will change one's identity after a long time.

All along, we human beings are entangled in a problem, that is, people are the people at the moment, to the end of the natural or nurture? Is it true that in Western countries, evangelicals believe that homosexuality is a consequence of parental discipline and disco music? Some scientists believe that the child's stupid is the father of heredity. But the truth is, no one can give a definitive answer, and everything is in dispute. The project hopes to examine the extent to which a person's experiences and circumstances affect them by immersing them in another person's life.

At present, the "other person" is still in the collection, no one has agreed to participate. According to the introduction, the applicant must be heterosexual male, and have a girlfriend, because Mark himself is straight male and in love. In addition, this requirement is for research purposes, because when you have a girlfriend, you will be able to describe your life. For example, if you want to go out and buy something, you say to your girlfriend, "I'm going out shopping, what can I get you?" "In this case, you express your actions or your thoughts."

(If you are interested, you can also apply to be "another person".) If you don't mind mark might fall in love with your girlfriend, or know your password, and so on. ）

If you think the project sounds dangerous, it's not surprising, because it does. After this experiment, Mark may lose his self-awareness and even face deep-seated psychological problems. Another problem is that the experiment may damage Mark's eye, and the virtual reality glasses manufacturer will not be responsible for the adverse effects of prolonged use of its equipment. In any case, Mark should stop the experiment in time for symptoms. In addition, no matter how much you like your Oculus Rift, don't try this activity at home. 0

In addition, will someone really want to take part in this project and expose their private life to others without reservation?
