If I was living in 1791 and I as an audient watched Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie”, I would’ve been shaking in fear. The first thought is that what I’m watching is very horrifying and real. I would even go and tell everyone in Europe about what I just witnessed. When I tried VR (virtual reality) in a plaza in Alexandria where the arcade section was, I was fascinated but mostly terrified because the VR was showing me zombies and monsters running towards me. This would be very similar to how the audience must have felt when seeing Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” at first sight.
