- Technical features and interpretation
VR offers a new approach to the structuring of space. Certain technical terms describe the procedures used to give an overall view of space, such as 'stitching' several views of a place to give what is actually a composite picture made with the numerous photos which have been taken. This approach to space can also be studied on the semiotic plane.
- VR and cities
VR can be used in different ways :
- from an architectural standpoint, emphasising the buildings
- from a sociological standpoint, populating the model
these are different ways of relating context and people
