Abstract
Summary form only given. Arguably, the concept that is referred to today as “virtual reality” is as old as humanity itself. Humans seem particularly predisposed to psychological travel between physical and virtual reality and have invented many ingenious ways technologies to do so. The latest advance is immersive VR technology, which allows face-to-face social interaction in three-dimensional settings via digital avatars. Blascovich will discuss conceptual and metaphysical issues with a focus on a structural model of social influence within virtual environments and illustrative experiments.
