Since the mid-2010s, virtual reality (VR) technology has advanced rapidly. This book explores the many opportunities that VR can offer for humanities and social sciences researchers. The book provides a user-friendly, non-technical methods guide to using ready-made VR content and 360° video as well as creating custom materials. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to using VR, providing helpful, real-world examples of how researchers have used the technology. The insights drawn from this analysis will inspire scholars to explore the possibilities of using VR in their own research projects Analysis Creative research methods; Digital methods; Immersive environments; New technology; Research methods; Social research methods; Virtual reality Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 15, 2022) Subject Social sciences -- Research -- Methodology Social sciences -- Research -- Computer simulation Humanities -- Research -- Methodology Humanities -- Research -- Computer simulation Virtual reality. virtual reality.
