![]() VR sculpting software allows users to model 3D assets using motions that reproduce real-life sculpting much more closely than has previously been possible on desktop apps. VR is also starting to be used in design workflows for a more immersive experience when creating digital content in 3D. “We’ve begun to consider the medium as a means in itself to create original and often surreal environments born of an artist’s imagination,” Markonish told Robb Report. For Denise Markonish, curator at MASS MoCA, artists’ adoption of VR is an interesting evolution from its earlier use by museums as a didactic tool. ![]() For artists including Marina Abramović, Laurie Anderson, and Anish Kapoor, VR offered an exciting new way of engaging with audiences even before 2020. In 2020, Deutsche Kreditbank in cooperation with Contemporary Arts Alliance Berlin launched a virtual reality arts prize. VR is no longer a novelty but an innovative tool in all kinds of professional applications. Engineers and programmers are creating lifelike experiences that respond to every physical motion of participants as they travel through imaginary worlds without leaving their living rooms. These days, virtual reality experiences are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Another milestone in the history of VR experiences was the Sensorama, invented by Morton Heilig in 1962, which combined wraparound projections and artificial wind and odors, released at key moments, to increase the authenticity of the experience (the original experience consisted of a bike ride through Brooklyn, New York). Soon after the invention of the camera, stereoscopes were used to create the illusion of three dimensions using only two still images. The concept is arguably at least as old as photography, even if the term “virtual reality” was created more recently. The desire to create and experience a virtual reality has roots older than the Keanu Reeves franchise. ![]() Not so long ago, VR was familiar mostly as a plot device in sci-fi movies such as The Matrix or Ready Player One - now, however, it is an increasingly established real-world technology with applications ranging from gaming and entertainment to medicine and the military. Virtual reality (VR) offers the possibility of moving through an entirely imagined space, an artificial environment that exists in images but not in real life. ![]()
