‘The term ‘virtual’ encapsulates two distinctive concepts and largely negative idea of the fake, illusionary, non-existent, and the overly whelming positive, idea of the potential, which connotes, productivity, openess and diversity.’-Ryan avatars of story
The virtual of reality was once pictures we saw and knew existed. E.g. The globe, the beach everything most of society knew about. Now virtual reality has gone beyond that point due to the fact not everything can be proven especially when you’re on an online community, due to the virtual world in cyber space, things can be made made up.
“Virtual reality is like passing through the movie screen to enter the fictional world. of the ‘film’, and entering a virtual environment is like ‘being able to walk through ones TV or computer, through the vanishing point or vortex and into a three dimensional field of symbols”-Margaret Morse.
An example of this would be the Simms virtual reality game, this is because of the virtual world the Simms was built in. Though you’re able to make a character you can’t exactly go into the game itself and go through your computer or TV. Instead an immersion is created.
Ernest Adams calls it a ‘Narrative immersion’. This is because the player gets to ‘care about the character’.
Virtual reality shows a form of second life, but how can you have a second ‘life’ when it’s not actually reality? Will this be something else technology will create. One day if were bored with our current situation and reality, we can pack up and leave to our ‘second life’.
