Week 7: Reading Virtual Reality



I think both Cosmopolis and Ready Player One have a lot of things in common with their work, although they have different takes and ideas they are similar in the way of weird main characters and oddly timed and blank spots in between. The film we watched in class had kind of a weird idea of putting technology in ourselves and how we might have virtual reality. For years we have been in video games and experiencing different worlds and ideas. The narrative and storytelling in a way is being in a different character or world. Almost like when we play games and watch very bright and interesting worlds we come back into a bland world. The story is immersive, it's written so the reader really gets a feel for the environments at least when reading it I think particularly I liked some of the places. The dystopian future aspect really came across really well and developed.



Take an event or setting of the novel and adapt it into virtual reality:

It would be really interesting if the setting with the trailers stacked upon each other be made into virtual reality. I know it will be developed into a movie so we will get to see this setting. But I like to imagine it like the image above. I would like to in VR travel through a place like this, salvaging and climbing this area would be really fun in this dystopian type setting. Maybe even living in a place with territories and clans. I would like to play or develop a game similar to this setting.
