  • Transport and virtual technologies [Elektronski vir]
    Uršič, Matjaž, 1975-
    The merging of transport and virtual technologies that began in the 1990s has been radically transforming the concept of mobility in contemporary societies. Driven not only by the increased level of ... movement of people, things, and ideas, the introduction of virtual technologies in transport paved the way for new types of mobility patterns where bodies combine with information. Most commonly associated with the production of augmented realities that blend real surroundings, the origins of the applicative use of virtual technologies can be traced to VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language), which appeared in 1994 and was quickly adopted by the transport sector. The presence and use of virtual technologies has since greatly expanded, with the inclusion of various digital tools (user-interface software) and devices (smartphones, tablets, virtual reality headsets) capable of enhancing the perception and experience of movement in the physical environment. This has had profound social implications in multiple spheres of everyday life spanning the organization of public and private services, retail, media, tourism, sports, education, and urbanism.
