Hyperreality and Virtual Worlds: When the Virtual Is Real
sphera.ucam.edu ISSNe: 2695-5725 ● Número 19 ● Vol.II ● Año 2019 ● pp. 36-58 Hyperreality and virtual worlds: when the virtual is real Paulo M. Barroso, Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal) [email protected] Received: 12/11/19 ● Accepted: 10/12/19 ● Published: 19/12/19 How to reference this paper: Barroso, Paulo M. (2019). Hyperreality and virtual worlds: when the virtual is real, Sphera Publica, 2(19), 36‐58. Abstract This article questions what is hyperreality and underlines the role of the signs/images fostering the perception of a virtual world. It argues the potentiality of signs as artefacts. Starting from Agamben’s perspective regarding contemporary, the hyperreality is understood as a modern, visual and mass manifestation of the need for simulacra in a non-referential virtual world. How hyperreality, spectacle, simulation, and appearance emerge out of reality? What is authentic or real are issues raised using images and technological devices. The images are popular and amplify the effects of distraction and social alienation. The image is immediately absorbed, spectacular, attractive, a peculiar ready-to-think that eliminates or dilutes the concepts and produces a fast culture. Through a reflexive strategy, this article is conceptual (it has no case study or empirical work) and has the purpose of problematize the experience of hyperreality, which is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social life and social interdependence, and the ways we see, think, feel, act or just mean and interpret the reality. Keywords Hyperreality, image, real, virtual worlds, technology Barroso Hiperrealidad y mundos virtuales Hiperrealidad y mundos virtuales: cuando lo virtual es real Paulo M.

Virtual and Augmented Reality in Marketing
Virtual and Augmented Reality in Marketing Laura Håkansson Thesis Tietojenkäsittelyn Koulutusohjelma 2018 Authors Group Laura Håkansson HETI15KIM The title of your thesis Number of Virtual and Augmented Reality in Marketing pages and appendices 56 Supervisors Heikki Hietala This thesis serves as an introduction to Virtual and Augmented Reality and explains how these two different technologies can be used in marketing. I work in marketing and have been following the evolvement of both VR and AR for a few years now. I was personally very curious to learn about how these have been implemented in marketing in the past, and what they will look like in the future, and if there are any reoccurring themes, for both VR and AR, that work best with a specific product or service. I spent a year reading the latest news and articles about various VR/AR marketing campaigns, and about the updates on these technologies that kept coming almost monthly. I also participated in different VR/AR-themed events in Helsinki to try out headsets and new AR apps, and to listen to the experts view on the potential of VR and AR. I wanted to create clear guidelines on which technology to use and how, depending on the product or service being marketed, but realized during my research that this was not possible. VR and AR are still in development, but evolving at a very fast pace, and right now it’s important to just bravely test them out without worrying about failing. I give plenty of examples in this thesis that will hopefully encourage marketers to start experimenting now, because we will see some really advanced VR and AR/MR in a few years, and those with the most experience will have great advantage in the marketing field.

Introduction to Immersive Realities for Educators Contents 1. Introduction 2. Resources & Examples 3. Recommendations 4. Getting Started 5. VR Applications 6. Recording in VR 7. Using Wander 8. VR Champions 9. FAQs 10. References Introduction How VR In Education Will Change How We Learn And Teach The ever-evolving nature of technology continues to influence teaching and learning. One area where advances have impacted educational settings is immersive technology. Virtual reality (VR) immersive technologies “support the creation of synthetic, highly interactive three dimensional (3D) spatial environments that represent real or non-real situations” (Mikropoulos and Natsis, 2010, p. 769). The usage of virtual reality can be traced to the 1960s when cinematographer and inventor Morton Heiling developed the Sensorama, a machine in which individuals watched a film while experiencing a variety of multi-sensory effects, such as wind and various smells related to the scenery. In the 1980’s VR moved into professional education and training. The integration of VR in higher education became apparent in the 1990’s, and continues to be explored within colleges and universities in the 21st century. Why does it all mean? VR, AR, MR and What Does Immersion Actually Mean? Terms such as "Virtual Reality"(VR), "Augmented Reality" (AR), "Mixed Reality" (MR), and "Immersive Content" are becoming increasingly common in education and are more user-friendly and affordable than ever. Like any other technology, IR is used to introduce, support, or reinforce course learning objectives not unlike a text, film, or field trip to a museum. The major difference is that learning can be much more immersive, interactive and engaging.

Using Virtual Reality to Engage and Instruct: a Novel Tool for Outreach and Extension Age Group: All Ages! Dr. Geoffrey Attardo
Using Virtual Reality to Engage and Instruct: A novel tool for Outreach and Extension Age Group: All Ages! Dr. Geoffrey Attardo Email: [email protected] Assistant Professor Room 37 Briggs Hall Department of Entomology and Nematology University of California, Davis Davis, California 95616 Recent developments in computer and display technologies are providing novel ways to interact with information. One of these innovations is the development of Virtual Reality (VR) hardware. Innovations in hardware and software have made this technology broadly accessible with options ranging from cell phone based VR kits made of cardboard to dedicated headsets driven by computers using powerful graphical hardware. VR based educational experiences provide opportunities to present content in a form where they are experienced in 3 dimensions and are interactive. This is accomplished by placing users in virtual spaces with content of interest and allows for natural interactions where users can physically move within the space and use their hands to directly manipulate/experience content. VR also reduces the impact of external sensory distractions by completely immersing the user in the experience. These interactions are particularly compelling when content that is only observable through a microscope (or not at all) can be made large allowing the user to experience these things at scale. This has great potential for entomological education and outreach as students can experience animated models of insects and arthropods at impossible scales. VR has great potential as a new way to present entomological content including aspects of morphology, physiology, behavior and other aspects of insect biology. This demonstration allows users of all ages to view static and animated 3D models of insects and arthropods in virtual reality.
