Toksyczna empatia czy wirtualna rozmowa, która sprzyja otwarciu się na Innego? O różnych sposobach projektowania spotkania w niefikcjonalnych doświadczeniach rzeczywistości wirtualnej
This article explores the topic of virtual reality non-fiction experiences where creators position the viewer as a participant in an encounter. The first part presents a selection of voices in the critical discussion around humanitarian VR, a genre in which viewers are often positioned in this way. The concepts of toxic empathy by Lisa Nakamura, improper distance by Kate Nash, and synthetic vision by Jihoon Kim are discussed. The recapitulation of texts providing critical accounts of humanitarian VR sets the context for the presentation of The Choice VR experience, to which the second part of the article is devoted.
