Immersive Spatiotemporal Travel in Virtual Reality

Space and Time travel, once confined to science fiction, are now subjects of practical scientific inquiry. However, the practical feasibility of such journeys remains uncertain. This paper aims to investigate and elucidate the effects encountered during simulated space warp and time travel. Specifically, it examines three effects associated with spatial displacement and two effects related to temporal shift, contextualized within the construction phases of five monumental world wonders. Our study, which assesses participants’ perceptions while experiencing these effects through virtual reality headsets, provides valuable insight into the potential of immersive space-time travel simulations and could inspire future developments in the field.
