The Ubiquitous Body: Exploring Virtual Reality Art Through Embodied Cognition Theory

Abstract

With the rapid iteration of virtual reality (VR) technology, new creative media and interaction methods have been activated. This paper delves deeply into the embodiment of VR art from the perspective of embodied cognition theory. The study reveals that the body plays a pivotal role in both enclosed artistic experiences facilitated by head-mounted VR devices and open digital media artworks involving physical interactions. Embodied cognition theory offers a novel perspective for research on VR art.
