THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION IS HERE! | The Body VR (Oculus Rift DK2)

“Virtual Reality is going to be really important for school education. Because kids don’t learn best from reading a book or looking at a chalk board.”

The Body VR is an educational experience that takes the user on a adventure inside the human body. Travel through the bloodstream and discover how blood cells work to spread oxygen throughout the body. Enter one of the billions of living cells inside our body and learn how the organelles work together to fight deadly viruses. It's a true adventure you should definitely check out! If you wanna try it out, download the setup, install the Oculus Store and search for The Body VR https://www.oculus.com/en-us/setup/

► About Nathie

You are an admirer of Virtual Reality? Same here! I want to show everyone the magic of VR and spread the message by making YouTube videos about it.

Have you ever been wondering how your
body is working from the inside?

Well, I have been thinking
about that a lot, and

I also watched all kinds of
programs on television about it.

But they were kinda boring and
hard to understand, but now with VR,

imagine that you can just fly
through the body in a spaceship and

learn everything about
it by just exploring it.

And that's what we are going to do today.

We are going to watch the Body VR, and
this is a educational experience that is

for free on the Oculus Store,
and we are going to check it out.

So, let's go, let's run in through VR.

>> You're set.

Enjoy the tour.

>> Thanks.

>> Whoa, this is cool.

[MUSIC]

Where are they going?

Let's follow them, if we can.

[MUSIC].

>> We are currently inside an arterium.

A small strand in the network of blood
vessels that spread throughout the body.

[MUSIC]

>> This is awesome.

>> Look at the bloods most prominent cell,
the red blood cell.

Red blood cells or erythrocytes take up
almost half the blood's total volume,

giving a red color to our blood.

Their main function is to transfer oxygen
from our lungs to vital parts of our body.

>> We are learning something today, nice.

>> Next up, a white blood cell,
called leukocytes which take up

less than 1% of the blood's total volume.

Their main function is to
protect our body from infection.

>> Well that's useful.

[MUSIC]

So where is this tunnel leading us to?

>> Let's examine platelets or thrombocytes
whose main function is to stop bleeding at

the site of a damaged blood vessel.

[MUSIC]

>> That hologram is cool.

>> You can see a tear in the blood vessel.

Let's investigate.

The type of leukocyte, the monocytes,

come through blood vessels
to become macrophages and

search for foreign invaders
which they eat and digest.

Let's leave the blood stream through
the tear to find a macrophage.

Prepare yourself for miniturization.

>> Let's find him.

Whoa, this is epic.

>> We are currently on the outside of
the macrophage within an infected tissue.

>> That's not good.

>> A typical cell membrane structure.

[MUSIC]

There are thousands of receptor
proteins on the surface of the cell.

Some of these proteins are tasked
with transferring information and

others with transferring cargo.

Water and oxygen pass freely
though the cell's membrane.

[MUSIC]

>> This is National Geographic all
over again, but on a more awesome way.

>> Larger molecules like glucose,
enter through small pumps or channels.

[MUSIC]

>> I am really amazed.

>> [CROSSTALK] like viruses,
require recognition or

keys to gain access,
thus preventing unauthorized entrance.

Fortunately, I have a counterfeit
key that's identical to a real one.

We're now entering the cell.

>> We're going in one.

Hyperino, we are in a cell.

[MUSIC]

>> A macrophage has pulled us in and

we are submerged in the cytoplasm,
a gel made mostly of water.

[MUSIC]

>> This is beautiful.

>> The cytoskeleton is made up of
a network of adjustable strands

that gives the cell its structure.

There are three different types of
strands that make up the cytoskeleton.

[MUSIC]

Microfilaments are the thinnest strand,
only measuring 7 nanometers in diameter.

[MUSIC]

Intermediate filaments are made
of the protein pectin and

have a diameter of 10 nanometers.

>> This is a true event here.

So interesting, so much to learn.

>> Lastly, microtubules have
a diameter of 24 nanometers.

>> It even moves with my head.

>> Which is wide enough to be used for
transport.

>> Trippy, hello.

>> A special type of protein called
kinesin multiprotein has the ability to

walk along microtubules.

>> [LAUGH] It walks.

>> [CROSSTALK] onto larger structures and
transports them around the cell.

>> Looks kind of cute to me.

>> Energy is available in the cytoplasm
in the form of ATP molecules.

ATP binds with kinesin and
propels it forward.

With each step the kinesin takes,

it binds with an ATP molecule,
and releases an ADP molecule.

In real time,
kinesin walks up to 100 steps per second.

[MUSIC]

>> That's a long way to go.

>> The connective protein is heading
straight for the cell's nucleus.

>> It's not that fast.

>> Let's tag along for a ride.

[MUSIC]

>> Sure.

We push him now.

Well, that goes much faster this way.

I am happy to help you.

[LAUGH]
>> We're now approaching the nucleus.

>> This looks more like the universe,
center of the cell.

[MUSIC]

Looks trippy,
>> The surface of the nucleus has its own

membrane similar to that of the cell.

[MUSIC]

>> Wow, are we going in there?

Think so.

I am ready.

>> Pores are spread around the surface
of the nucleus to allow entry and

exit of larger molecules.

[MUSIC]

>> Wow, this is really impressive.

School kids should try this.

>> [CROSSTALK] are located around
the edge to facilitate the-

>> Hey, they move with me.

[SOUND]

[MUSIC]

We're almost there.

[MUSIC]

Don't eat me.

I am a friendly human who wants
to check out his own body.

>> Let's head inside.

>> Sure.

[MUSIC]

I am ready for more tour information.

[MUSIC]

It's getting better and better.

This one is also nice.

>> Nucleus, the control center of the cell
containing the majority of the cell's DNA.

[MUSIC]

>> Nice accent you have, tour guide.

[MUSIC]

>> DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is
a molecule that carries our genetic code.

[MUSIC]

>> No hating on the accent by the way.

I speak funny too.

>> The DNA contains instructions for
protein synthesis.

[MUSIC]

And the process of transcription as
segments of DNA is copied into RNA or

ribonucleic acid containing a single
recipe for protein creation.

>> I don't totally understand
what he's saying, but

it's really interesting to listen to,
that's for sure.

So what is this for a thing.

>> Let's exit the nucleus through

a nuclear pore
>> It's funny how this capsule is like

resetting itself.

It's not turning around, it's just
teleporting to a different direction.

>> We have exited the nucleus, and
are now approaching through the cytoplasm.

Surrounding the nucleus is the rough
endoplasmic reticulum or RER.

A maze like structure,
made of flattened membranes.

>> Beautiful colors.

>> Studded with ribosomes,

the RER maintains a vital
role in protein synthesis.

Ribosomes link together amino acids,

following the instructions
received from the RNA.

The created protein is fed from
the ribosome into the RER,

which then folds the protein
into a specific shape.

>> It's mind-blowing how
the body works from the inside.

>> [CROSSTALK] transported in a vesicle
made from a portion of the RER membrane.

[MUSIC]

In the distance,
you can see a mitochondria.

>> Yeah, that's it.

>> Mitochondria are free
floating organelles typically

referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.

Mitochondria received its name due to
their vital role in ATP generation.

ATP, or adenosine triphosphate,

is the main source of
energy within the cell.

Mitochondria take the pyrolates and

convert it into carbon dioxide and water,

releasing ATP in the process.

>> This is so small in real life.

>> This energy is used for many cellular
process such as biosynthetic reactions,

motility and cell division.

[MUSIC]

>> Now I understand why we have to
put our feet inside the platform.

>> Let's make our way outside.

[MUSIC]

>> Sure, take me wherever you want.

[MUSIC]

It has been a great journey so far.

This is pure art, and
it's just in your body.

>> [MUSIC]

>> [LAUGH]

[MUSIC]

>> There's an incoming virus
attack headed for the cell.

>> Woah, virus attack.

Live on on screen.

Woah, woah, woah, woah.

[MUSIC]

Can you hear that sound?

>> That cloud of antibodies is stationed
around the cell to protect it from

viruses.

[MUSIC]

>> Luckily I'm sitting in this capsule so
they can't really hit me.

>> [INAUDIBLE] Consume the viruses as
they are highlighted by the antibodies.

[MUSIC]

>> Man.

>> Together,

the antibodies with the white blood cells
form the front line of our immune system.

[MUSIC]

>> This is really impressive.

[MUSIC]

>> Thousands of viruses have
made it past the antibodies.

[MUSIC]

The viruses overcome the defenses, and

some viruses are able to enter
a cell using counterfeit keys.

[MUSIC]

>> I can get sick of this I guess,
with so many.

They are attacking with a bunch.

>> It looks like the cell
is not going to survive.

[MUSIC]

>> No.
>> Letâs get back to the observatory.

[MUSIC]

>> They are turning black.

[MUSIC]

Viruses are infecting it.

>> That completes our journey
through the human body.

We hope you enjoyed the tour.

>> I did seriously, wow.

[MUSIC]

>> Hello, and welcome to the Body VR,
an immersive tour through the human body.

>> You mean, welcome back.

>> Please keep your hands and
feet inside the platform at all times.

>> So that was The Body VR people.

Wow, that was The Body VR.

Hope you enjoyed it.

If you did, then slam the like button.

And if I think about it right now,
the future schools are going to be so

much fun.

I mean,
if you learn about the body this way is so

much better than a boring textbook.

If you're a teacher and you're
watching and you're like hey I want to

educate my students on a new way, then try
this out because this is mind blowing.

Anyway that's it.

And as always say and
I see guys next time.

See you in the metaverse.

Wow, I want to go to school again.

I am excited.

If they start to educate with VR,
it would be great.

The future, squidward.
