Virtual Histories: A short history of immersion: What are the historical events in Virtual Reality that have brought us to this point? We will look at the technological developments that sought to propel us into parallel, simultaneous and virtual space. We will explore the history of immersion and simulation through Virtual Reality and Art and Design practices as we seek to plot the points that map our trajectory into our virtual futures.
