ABSTRACT
Virtual Reality allows us to get immersed in artificial worlds, and to interact in real-time in these universes. The potential of this technology is so vast, as it lets create either realistic, symbolic or imaginary worlds, that it is not surprising to notice that artists have been using it for several decades. Virtual Reality as an artistic medium allows the spectator-user to live immersive and interactive experiences, and it gives the opportunity to the artists to explore new ways of expression. In this chapter, we first describe the added value of the VR headsets in artistic creation, in regard to a historical approach and other interfaces. We then propose a creation model to produce artistic installations making use of the VR headsets’ characteristics.
