Abstract

Is there an inherent contradiction between the concepts of “virtual” and “reality” in VR (Virtual Reality)? Or is there any misunderstanding in our mind? VR uses virtual media technology to give users a “real” impression that rivals the real material worldThe “virtual” here refers to the means of achieving the same perceived effect through media technologyThe core function of the medium, which is the structural rule that humans follow when operating the intermediary tool system in this process, is to communicate the real material world outside with the “real” world in human thoughtIn the history of mankind, the virtual world of fantasy has always been created in the way of “informatization” and “virtuality”, while at the same time continuously strengthening the level of “informatization” and “virtuality” of the mediumVirtuality is the basic attribute of a medium
