VR devices for virtual reality are commonly used in the field of gaming, including Sony's recently unveiled the peripheral PS VR2 that supports 4K HDR. However, it is new to give animals VR glasses, which is something that a Turkish rancher recently did.
The news quoted reports from the British newspaper The Sun and Turkish media outlet Anadolu Ajansi. Izzet Kocak, a rancher in Turkey's Aksaray region, has given his cows a special VR device with green grasslands to allow the animals trapped in the cowshed to enjoy the virtual natural beauty that he believes will increase their milk production.
We've seen cows play music and give them a massage, but it's amazing to wear VR for cows, at least not at a low cost. These cows have a new term, called VR cows. Because it's a harsh winter season and the cows can't graze outdoors, the owners hope to use these virtual reality devices to trick them into thinking they're actually living outside in the sun.
Scientific studies have shown that animals in a good mood do achieve better growth and output. The VR headsets were allegedly developed in collaboration with professional veterinarians and tested in Moscow before being sent to Turkey for safe use. So far, the rancher has tested on two cows and the results have been positive, with milk production increasing from 22 liters per day to 27 liters per day, according to the news. Ranchers want to expand production and buy more than 10 more sets of equipment.
Cows with VR glasses are like the human beings in "The Matrix" as batteries, and can only live in the virtual universe to produce more milk for humans, which sounds quite sad. But compared with the cycle of only more than 1 month, the white feathered chickens that live on the assembly line machine and have never seen the world are lucky.
