Immersive VR Needs Your Mirror Neurons
Along those lines, the science of mirror neurons is of particular interest to Dolby. Mirror neurons are described as specialized brain circuits or systems that connect different sensory portions of the brain to the “premotor cortex” which helps control the body.
“Mirror neurons are what allow us to step into the shoes of somebody else,” Daly states. “That is a true aspect of immersion. In immersive media, having that experience would allow you to be literally ‘immersed’ in what is happening to another person.”
Qualcomm, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and others are iterating new versions of VR/AR wearables to not only feel more comfortable on the head — but more compatible with how we actually experience the world.
“VR content creators are essentially conducting informal psychological experiments over time with their audiences as subjects, and they get feedback from the success or failure of those attempts, and try again,” says Daly. “All of those questions with VR are yet to be determined.”
