Believable Virtual Reality does not need high-end VR headsets — study
A study from the University of Bath reveals that emotional connection, rather than high-quality graphics or wide field of view, is key to immersion in virtual reality environments. Researchers explored how technical and human factors interact to influence users' sense of presence in VR.
Context Engineering Hybrid Spaces for Perceptual Augmentation
Emerging spatial technologies are reshaping perception, challenging the traditional Cartesian split between subject and object. This paper explores how context engineering serves as an intermedial practice for perceptual augmentation, allowing real-time control over senses and influencing the construction of reality and consciousness.
Cosmic Sugar, Brain Candy, Cyberdelics
Podcast discussing themes of art, culture, technology, and psychedelics, featuring insights into cyberdelia and virtual reality. Available on RTE Lyric FM's website.
Cyberdelics: Designing immersive media for transpersonal experiences
Cyberdelics are immersive media designed to induce transpersonal states of consciousness, integrating historical rituals with modern technology. The study proposes a design model focusing on epistemic expansion, emotional resonance, and ethical principles like preparation and consent, emphasizing the need for thoughtful stewardship in leveraging XR/VR for meaningful experiences.
Cybernetics of the Self
The article introduces the concept of a cyberdelic stance, emphasizing conscious engagement with technology as feedback loops that can enhance wisdom and agency. It explores the evolution of cybernetics, merging it with psychedelia to highlight tools and practices that promote interconnection and co-creation, encouraging individuals to actively shape their experiences rather than being controlled by algorithms.
