    • What is your primary form of interaction? Where is your attention? How do you “navigate” the environment? What is the correlation between your body in VR space and your body in physical space? What aspects of the space benefit from what kind of affordances of VR?
  3. Research: find references and inspirations to back up the idea of the space of the world. Consider sources from architecture, urban design, theater, landscapes, personal experience, etc

Post a brief response to the reading (1-2 paragraphs), and put it under category Reading Response 1. Choose one of the following questions to address in your response, and be ready to talk about them in class next week

  • Where do you think VR falls in terms of being an additive or an expressive form (or somewhere in between)?
  • Taking one of Murray’s four principle properties of digital environments, how do you see VR representing that property?
