The Interactive Structure of The Virtual Reality Model under Kant's View

Virtual reality (VR), as the experience simulated by electronic system which is similar to or completely different from the real world, will hopefully achieve fully practical use in the near future. Virtual reality has the characteristics of multi-sensory, immersion, interactivity, imagination, and creates a brand-new model in human intercourse. The interactive structure of the virtual reality could be clarified in the theoretical background of Kant's philosophy. In Kant's Copernicus revolution on epistemology, the inner capabilities have been demonstrated to be the conditions for constituting the subject-object relationship, and thus Kant's theory provides the basic principle in interactive structure. Kant's theory has strongly promoted the understanding of virtual reality. The essential core of virtual reality, i.e. real virtual, must first be embodied as the inner abilities of human, and then the functional mechanism in virtual reality's interaction could be possible. Thus, through the analysis of Kant's epistemology and the inner capabilities in it, the interactive structure of the virtual reality will be revealed. In conclusion, Time and space act as the intuitional structure of virtual reality, categories act as the conceptual structure of virtual reality, transcendental imagination acts as the uniting structure of virtual reality.
