VR 매체와 문학의 융합 가능성 연구

Abstract

· Research topics: A Study on the Convergence Possibility of VR Media and Literature. · Research background: Virtual reality technology, represented by VR, improves human cognitive ability. It expands and amplifies our imagination more powerfully than any other medium. At a time when VR media is emerging as a new mainstream medium, literature should seek the possibility of convergence with VR as a subject of reflection in the digital age and participate in the trend of the times. I wanted to raise the need for efforts to utilize VR media as a tool for creating new literature. · Differences from prior research: Existing studies dealing with VR media from a narrative perspective include research on the characteristics of VR media, research on the storytelling characteristics of VR content, theoretical grounds and proposals for VR video production, and research on the utilization and prospects of VR content. However, it is still difficult to find studies dealing with VR contents from a literary point of view. · Research method: This study started from recognizing VR as a new narrative medium that will continue the genealogy of narrative art, and discovered and analyzed cases of convergence between VR and literature. And through this, the possibility of convergence of literature and VR was presented. · Research results: It was confirmed that VR media, as a new expression method that is not bound by the existing format, opens up the possibility of multilateral convergence with literature and has the potential to be used as a literary creative tool. · Contribution points and expected effects: This study will arouse interest in the possibility of literature expansion through a new medium of VR, and will serve as an opportunity to explore various possibilities of literature creation using virtual reality technology. Through this study, it is hoped that VR will serve as an opportunity to confirm that VR is a medium with the potential to ideally reproduce the imagination of literature, and through this, a convergence discussion called 'VR literature' can be made.
