👉 The Hours is a groundbreaking interactive film and research project by filmmaker David Gelernter, released in 2010. It explores the concept of time perception and its impact on human consciousness through a series of immersive, 360-degree virtual reality experiences. The project features real participants who wear VR headsets and are transported into environments that manipulate their sense of time, such as slowing down or speeding up the world around them. Through these experiences, Gelernter investigates how our perception of time influences our emotions, memories, and decision-making processes. The project not only serves as a thought-provoking artistic endeavor but also contributes to the broader scientific understanding of time perception, blending art, technology, and psychology.
