We will be exploring Virtual Reality in the future and the impact that it could have on body image and mental health. Within the next 60-70 years VR could become a massive part of everyday life and people could become dependent on it. If people could design 3D avatars of themselves, would they make themselves ‘perfect’ and how would that affect them back in the real world? There could be many issues that come from an individual being able to change what they dislike about themselves, for example, body image issues, mental health problems and even addiction to VR.
