Colonising cyberspace
Description
Virtual Reality (VR) is a miracle of high technology and potentially could redefine the bounds of individual and collective human experience. Powerful computers can simulate artificial worlds where people can not only visit, but also interact, walk or fly around, change point of view and directly manipulate objects. Horizon explores the past, present and future of VR research and considers its social and philosophical implications.
