The next 10 years will see a huge increase in the adoption of 2D and 3D virtual environments as spaces for work-related interaction, collaboration and socialising. As the realities of the workplace become less time and space-bound, it is important that professionals possess the skills to enable them to flourish in these environments as well as a deeper understanding and appreciation of the implications of virtual and mixed realities for the questions of identity, selfhood and other. Thus the content of this unit will be both theoretical and applied addressing questions such as: Who am I? Who am I interacting with? Where does the real life me end the virtual me begin, if at all? -- Course Website
