Les cahiers de Louis Lumière 13 : “Creation and virtual reality”
This thirteenth edition of the Cahier Louis-Lumière invites us to question the complex audiovisual forms induced by the so-called “immersive” technologies - virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality - and the modalities of reception that they imply. It is a question of exploring the various stakes (technical, aesthetic, ideological, theoretical...), while analyzing the discourses produced about them.
We report here on the work of the international colloquium held in April 2019 in Montpellier and within our walls in Saint-Denis, with the support of RIRRA 21 of the University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3.
Read the article « Creation and virtual reality » by Benoît Labourdette.
