  • Virtual Reality Design: How Upcoming Head-Mounted Displays Change Design Paradigms of Virtual Reality Worlds
    MediaTropes eJournal Vol VI, No 1 (2016): 52–85 ISSN 1913-6005 VIRTUAL REALITY DESIGN: HOW UPCOMING HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAYS CHANGE DESIGN PARADIGMS OF VIRTUAL REALITY WORLDS CHRISTIAN STEIN “The matrix has its roots in primitive arcade games. […] Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts. […] A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.” — William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984) 1. Introduction When William Gibson describes the matrix in his canonical cyber-punk novel Neuromancer, it is a computer-generated parallel universe populated and designed by people all over the world. While it would be an exaggeration to say this is about to become a reality, with current-generation virtual reality systems an important step toward immersive digital worlds has already taken place. This article focuses on current developments in virtual reality (VR) with head-mounted displays (HMDs) and their unique digital experiences. After decades of experimentation with VR beginning in the late 1980s, hardware, software, and consumer mindsets are finally ready for the immersive VR experiences its early visionaries dreamed of. As far back as 1962, Morton Heilig developed the first true VR experience with Sensorama, where users could ride a “motorcycle” coupled with a three-dimensional picture; it even www.mediatropes.com MediaTropes Vol VI, No 1 (2016) Christian Stein / 53 included wind, various smells, and engine vibrations. Many followed in Heilig’s footsteps, perhaps most famously Ivan Sutherland with his 1968 VR system The Sword of Damocles.1 These developments did not simply constitute the next step in display technology or gamer hardware, but rather a major break in conceptualizations of space, speed, sight, immersion, and even body.
