Thanks, that link offers insights into some interesting projects.

[quote quote=960]Mixed reality is a funny way to put it as I feel it’s where most people reside naturally on social media/the Internet.[/quote]

For me, yes and no.

YES, because cyberpsace and social media have ALWAYS been part of this sort of “dimension” into which we could extend ourselves, to give and receive vivid impressions.

NO, because in VR we’re not just looking at exchanged messages on a flat screen, when we can tell “reality” is within our line of sight. VR bumps it up a notch and actually keeps us totally immersed; it gets our vestibular system involved, and presents us with experiences so that no matter where we invest our attention, we only get more of the same environment. And in very striking ways, that is the difference between “seeing” there and “being” there.
