Virtual Reality of Communication: Theoretical Aspects

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of problem of virtual reality of communication. Among the existing approaches to the study of virtual reality for us is of considerable interest network approach, which is still finding its designation and begins to take shape. The virtual reality from these positions refers to the communicative processes of network interaction, which do not belong entirely to the sphere of the subject, nor to the sphere of the object, which are stably functioning but not amenable to conceptual representation. We made consideration of the problems of virtual reality communication in the horizon of Heideggerian existential-phenomenological analytics.

In our opinion the communicative space is the important factor constituting the vital world of a person. We stressed out the high dynamism of the development of information and communication technologies over the past few years. We made the conclusion that modern communication technologies, becoming an integral part of human existence, create their own environment, which a person deals with, are a specific means of creating a communicative virtual reality, are transformative both for its participants and for society as a whole. The increasing number of people are involved in the virtual reality of communication, so that it becomes possible to talk about moving modern social communication into the virtual sphere.
