Life in Virtual Reality: Exploring Lived Experiences and Social Interactions of Long-Term VRChat Users (Media Studies) - Softcover
Synopsis
How do people live and interact in Cyberspace? Scientists and sci-fi writers have tackled this question for decades, yet the idea of a spatially distinct social site ›inside‹ the internet remained an imaginary for the longest time. In the 2010s, this changed: the proliferation of affordable virtual reality hardware and the emergence of social VR platforms attracted a growing number of tech enthusiasts for whom social life in VR has by now become a mundane, everyday reality. During his four-year ethnography, Felix Krell lived among, observed, and interviewed long-term users of the platform VRChat to explore what using VR technology really feels like for those with years of lived experience, and how members of emergent virtual communities negotiate their social interactions.

Life in Virtual Reality (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What does social life in VR feel like? In a life-world analytical field study in the social VR platform VRChat, Felix Krell examines the lived experience of long-term social VR users from a phenomenological perspective. He investigates hybridization processes in virtual emplacement and embodiment as well as perceptual intricacies that frame a matured, long-term Social VR experience. An in-depth sociological inquiry then covers how long-term users shape their everyday social interactions within this perceptual framework. Grounded on (auto-)ethnographical data as well as 32 ethnographic interviews, the text provides multidisciplinary insight of how a social life inside Virtual Reality is experienced and negotiated by those who are most privy to it. An ethnographic inquiry into the lifeworlds of long-term Social VR users, concerned with the phenomenological and sociological analysis of everyday life.
