課程介紹｜Content

The seminar in Virtual Reality and Digital Technology will focus on understanding the latest metaverse trends, development of virtual reality, and digital game culture in the global perspective, and understand the development of theories and research trends/topics in the literature. In addition, students will learn various important digital technology trends internationally with a native focus. Students will examine VR phenomena and their effects on human well-being, cognition, and emotions. Furthermore, we will look at how different areas employ VR and digital games as a persuasive and educational tool and identity experiment.

課程目標｜Goal

The goals of the course are threefold: First, understand the seminal constructs in VR and digital games. In addition, be familiar with related research published in “flagship” journals including Journal of Communication, Communication Research, Human Communication Research. Mainstream journals dedicated digital games including Media Psychology, Journal of Computer Mediated Communication, New Media and Society, Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, and Computers in Human Behavior. Second, be able to critically analyze and interpret how scholars in these fields frame research issues and investigate the effects of these two media on human being. Third, be able to build logical and precise argument to contribute to advance the knowledge of these two fields, theoretically and empirically. All students should be able to propose a clear-designed, well-argued application analysis/research proposal at the end of the semester. For undergraduate students, the term project will be an analysis of a certain VR application and phenomenon.
