Virtual Reality

However, what’s wrong with this picture?

• The screen is “broadcasting” not displaying interaction.
• The woman on the stool wearing an HMD has no controllers, no haptic feedback, and no agency in her experience.
• She has only 4 degrees of freedom (left/right, up/down inside a 360 degree sphere), not 6 degrees of freedom.
• She is tethered to a computer with a cable.
• Unacceptable Old School 2014

If interested, here is a two-part blog on the history of the Virtual Reality headsets.

It’s missing most elements which create Immersion and Agency

• Six degrees of Freedom
• FOV 90 - 210 degrees (the human field-of-vision is 220)
• Haptics (haptic gloves, rumble platforms, subaudio body packs, full body suits TeslaSuit, etc.)
• Gaze Selection and Timed Gaze
• Voice Recognition
• Head Gesture Recognition
• Controller Inputs
• 360 degree spatialized audio

Other Considerations:

Is it an Embodied Experience?

Does it qualify as an Empathy Machine?

Is there User-Generated Content?

What are the Social, Psychological, and Political aspects?
