Description
The Immersive Enclosure: A Groundbreaking Analysis of Virtual Reality in Japan
Paul Roquet's latest work explores the impact of virtual reality on society, with a particular focus on its adoption in Japan. He examines how VR is reshaping our understanding of personal space, labor, gender, and nation.
The book delves into the ways in which VR technology has diverged from Western ideals, instead becoming a tool for renegotiating individual boundaries. Roquet reveals how individuals are using VR to immerse themselves in virtual worlds inspired by manga, video games, and genre literature, and how this is changing our relationship with digital platforms.
