names in VR Jaron Lanier Hill & Takahashi (2017) Jeremy Bailenson Hill & Takahashi (2017)

A moment with a giant hand changed not only how virtual reality felt to me, but how physical reality felt. My friends in the room now looked like pulsing beings, translucent. Their transparent eyes were filled with meaning. This was not hallucination, but improved perception. Physicality revealed in fresh light. --Lanier, 2017, p. xv

FRAMEWORK FOR THINKING ABOUT VR A

NAMLE Core principles: Active & Critical Thinking about Media Messages Literacy definition expanded to all types of media Requires ”integrated, interactive, repeated practice” Informed, reflective, engaged citizens necessary for democracy Media are part of society & help socialize citizens Individuals construct their own valid meaning based on own experiences a few Core questions: who made & why? target audience? who paid for it? who benefits? who’s harmed? who’s excluded? what does it want me to do? what should I learn from this? what techniques are used? to what end? zeitgeist? is source trusted? how much?

A VR Framework EXPERIENCE TYPE: VR or Cinematic VR Interactive or Passive Role Playing or Playing Self Interface used – CONTEXT: self-selected or assigned desired goal from experience who created the experience – when & for what purpose amgardner, 2008
