VR is a technological domain, in which – due to the illusion it creates – two major social and ethical themes are raised: (i) reactions and feelings of the user, such as over-attachment to virtual agents, or feeling out of control and behaving with hostility in the virtual environment and outside in the physical world, as well as (ii) the intentions of the VR environment creator, which may be obscure and dangerous for the user, e.g. by collecting information or inducing mental/psychological transformations without the user’s knowledge (Kizza, 2017). VR allows the user to step in a “reality”, which can be entirely synthetic and a created digital environment, or it could be a suspended moment of an actual real-world environment. The synthetic environment could be modeled after the real world, a fantasy, or both. Most virtual realities do not fully cross over the uncanny valley (Mori, MacDorman, & Kageki, 2012), but this is an issue that is expected to improve in the future.
