PHILOSOPHY
Virtual reality can be understood as a technological replica of part of our perceptual system. By externalising processes that usually remain invisible, it offers a way to examine how we perceive and accept the world as reality. This perspective extends beyond the virtual environment itself, opening questions about how body, technology and physical surroundings come together to form human-centred experiences across individual, social and spatial realms.
