可供性视角下虚拟现实媒介叙事空间研究

Space in Virtual Reality Media Narrative from the Perspective of Affordance

叙事与空间的强链接要求人们对虚拟现实媒介叙事空间予以更多关注。本文引入可供性理论,围绕故事场景、故事空间、故事世界三个层面探讨虚拟现实媒介在叙事空间构筑上的可供性:首先,故事场景使得用户沉浸其中,达到身心双重在场的深度卷入状态;其次,故事空间在用户的探索与互动中生成,为用户的具体实践所形塑;再次,对故事世界的建构需要用户主动发掘、解码、组合信息,并产生连贯、整体的理解,其中用户的身体扮演着重要角色。

The strong link between narrative and space requires more attention to the narrative space of virtual reality media.This paper introduces the theory of affordance and explores the availability of virtual reality media in the construction of narrative space at three levels:first,story scenes in which users immerse and achieve a state of deep involvement with both physical and mental presence;second,story spaces unfold during users’exploration and interaction and are shaped by their practices;third,the construction of the story world requires the user to actively discover,decode,combine information,and generate a coherent and holistic understanding,in which the user’s body plays an important role.
