Opis

For many researchers Virtual reality (VR) is first of all a technology. However, this focus on VR as just a technology can be disappointing for other researchers and developers. This book, to overcome this limitation, describes VR as a communication tool - a communication interface in a single-user VR and a communication medium in the case of multi-user VR. The shifting structures of communication systems present opportunities for communication researchers and these require multidisciplinary approaches to communication research. This book attempts to scan the future of communications within the virtual reality field.
