Virtual Reality

However, what’s wrong with this picture?

DigitalGalleryImage_01.tiff
  • • 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?
