AR and VR is an extension to the sensations that we have, it could be the solution to a richer experience.

Another way is to gain new sensations that we do not have. Animals have all kinds of senses that we can never imagine of. Turtels can feel magnetic feilds, many birds have tetrachromacy which make them see color four-dimensionally. Sharks can feel electric fields.

n unspeakable horror seized me. There was a darkness; then a dizzy, sickening sensation of sight that was not like seeing; I saw a Line that was no Line; Space that was not Space; I was myself, and not myself. When I could find voice, I shrieked aloud in agony, ‘Either this is madness or it is Hell.’ ‘It is neither,’ calmly replied the voice of the Sphere, ‘it is Knowledge; it is Three Dimensions: open your eye once again and try to look steadily.’

ut to me, it (“1984”) already had not been utopia (dystopia) any more, but history. Nether the less, there are some distinction between utopia (dystopia) and the history. Former one never happened, the later one we’ve already been through. The former one is similar to reality in appearance, while the latter one plays on and on, and never change.

According to the map J got from the reception, in this library, there are 6 kinds of rooms which will be recognized by its scales, plus 1 reception and a huge garden that connnects all and surrounds all: - 1: attic box - that mainly store books.

rom the standpoint of the mirror I discover my absence from the place where I am since I see myself over there. Starting from this gaze that is, as it were, directed toward me, from the ground of this virtual space that is on the other side of the glass, I come back toward myself; I begin again to direct my eyes toward myself and to reconstitute myself there where I am.
