857 Words4 Pages
Virtual reality has developed a lot in the last couple of years, and it is being used in different fields such as the military, education, healthcare, business and of course entertainment and games. Virtual Realities have developed from open spaces you can look around in, into what seems to be a real and interactive world. This development allows for virtual reality to be used in (academic) research, training programs, exercise, design and engineering to name a few. The increasing implementation of virtual reality has impacted the demand for better and more realistic environments where the user can fully experience the intended scenario. But can virtual reality be as real as the real world? Are there enough representation resources and (have we) will we manage to use them all? In order to answer the question of virtual reality being as real as the real world, there is a need to define and discuss the main components relating to it.

Throughout the history, the terms idealism and realism have evolved, starting from the Greek’s sculptures and influencing different regions. Idealism in art means conveying the ideal and artistic side of the subject, and it tends to depict “what should be” more than “what it really is”.

SPATIALITY The Mall becomes a ‘utopia’ where time and space evaporate (Goss 1993) and creating the civic miracle of heightened safety, excessive cleanliness as well as a well-mannered populace, a process similar to Malcolm Voyce’s (2007) idea of ‘spatial purification’. The aesthetically laid sparkling Italian marble floor leaves a sense of slight consciousness with regard to the clinical and pristine nature of the surroundings. Perhaps, the wafting music of the grand piano (blocked from view by a crowd of onlookers surrounding the pianist) is meant to work as an antidote for the induced anxiety. The material and non-material presence of the mall forms its spatial representation and the conjured “image” plays a crucial role in determining the intended audience.

We are faced with a society where we are more in tune with the hyper real world.
