Containing the edited research papers resulting from an ambitious,
cross-disciplinary research project, this volume examines the
spatiality of virtual inhabited 3D worlds - virtual reality and
cyberspace. (Three other volumes look at Interaction, Staging and
Methodology.) It is about the communication spaces emerging at the
Internet and supported by special 3D interfaces. It is also about the
virtual spaces created by virtual reality hardware (CAVEs, panoramic
screens, head mounted display systems etc.) and software. Virtual
Space: Spatiality in Virtual Inhabited 3D Worlds is interdisciplinary.
It deals with philosophical, psychological, communicational,
technological and aesthetic aspects of space. While philosophy raises
the question concerning the ontology of space - what is space -
psychology deals with our perception of space. Communication theory
looks at the way in which space supports communication (i.e. that
space is a medium for communication), and finally aesthetic analyses
exemplify the use of virtual space in virtual cities, in museums and
in art.
