This project contends that virtual reality first emerges during the Romantic Period (1780-1830). Further, it argues that the contemporary prominence of virtual reality rests to a surprising degree on assumptions about the virtual that derive from this earlier period. To establish this aetiology of perhaps the most important phenomenon of the digital age, the project focuses on the production of virtual reality in Enlightenment schemes for managing the real, popular entertainment, and Romanticism. It will make a major contribution to debates concerning Romanticism and (post)modernity, and to our understanding of the cultural histories that shape our reception of computer technologies.

这个项目认为虚拟现实首先出现在浪漫主义时期（1780-1830）。此外，它认为，虚拟现实的当代突出依赖于一个令人惊讶的程度上的虚拟，从这个早期的假设。为了建立这个可能是数字时代最重要的现象的病因学，该项目侧重于在启蒙运动中生产虚拟现实，以管理真实的、流行的娱乐和浪漫主义。它将对有关浪漫主义和（后）现代性的辩论，以及我们对塑造我们对计算机技术的接受的文化历史的理解做出重大贡献。
