Fenomenología de la Realidad Virtual: Explorando la Experiencia Humana en Entornos Digitales Inmersivos

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenology of virtual reality (VR) and its impact on human experience, highlighting how immersive digital environments alter the perception of space and time and facilitate new forms of social interaction. Through a detailed bibliographic review, the practical applications and therapeutic potential of VR, as well as its ethical and social implications, were examined. Methods included the analysis of existing literature focused on the interaction between advanced technology and human experience, from a phenomenological perspective. Results revealed that VR not only changes the way individuals interact with each other and their environment but also offers unique opportunities for education and therapy. However, significant challenges related to access, equity, and potential long-term psychological consequences were identified. The discussion underscores the need for future research to delve deeper into these experiences to maximize benefits and minimize challenges. Conclusions emphasize the transformative role of VR in understanding and expanding human experience, highlighting its relevance for the future development of immersive technologies aware of their phenomenological impact.
