Abstract:
VR SuperGun is a custom hardware and software solution that allows players to connect with original arcade platforms over a network connection, while reconstituting the material form of the arcade cabinet in virtual space. In the context of game art and media art it uses the material of the JAMMA hardware interface to explore the boundaries of interfacing with the complete arcade machine through remote digital means, providing a meditation on the physicality of hardware both in its form and situated environment, alongside the representational experience of these aspects through software. As an experimental prototype, the VR SuperGun attempts to bridge the gap in-between the authenticity and tangibility of experiencing arcade gameplay through original arcade cabinet hardware, and the ease and convenience of network enabled arcade emulation.
