Summary/Abstract: This paper concerns the human situation in the face of increasing significance of digital environments. As the starting point for my research I am adopting the embodied cognition paradigm, whose great precursors were Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and James Jerome Gibson. I use the conception of embodied cognition, especially enactivism, to analyze the human relation with interactive virtual environments. In addition, I classify virtual phenomena, due to the variety of their applications.
