The phenomenon of virtual reality and the practice of its design (on the example of PRC)

Virtual reality is not only a subject of study of technical science, but also of social-humanitarian studies such as psychology, philosophy, politic science, etc. We are interested in the issue of the essence of virtual reality and its influence on the perception of world and human behavior. In the article, the authors suggest their own definition of the term of virtual reality and describe the main concepts that can help to clarify the gist of this phenomenon. Looking at PRC as an example, the paper pays a distinct attention to the examples of constructing the political perspective of a society in virtual reality.
