Virtual reality
This entry addresses the development of virtual reality since the 1980s, both as an actual set of immersive digital media technologies and as a technological imaginary of media, immersion, and the future of human–technological relationships inspired by these technologies. It explores the overlap between these two—between actual technologies and idealized, fictional, or speculative visions of future media—and reflects on the concept of the virtual for digital media and communication.

Abstract

This entry addresses the development of virtual reality since the 1980s, both as an actual set of immersive digital media technologies and as a technological imaginary of media, immersion, and the future of human–technological relationships inspired by these technologies. It explores the overlap between these two—between actual technologies and idealized, fictional, or speculative visions of future media—and reflects on the concept of the virtual for digital media and communication.
