I have been able to speak for almost one hour with Jeremy Bailenson , which is the professor at Stanford that is a legend in the VR field for his studies on interactions, psychology, and training in Virtual Reality. Stanford’s department of communication is a place where we study media and VR. I loved speaking with him.

What in the past took years of undergraduate and graduate study in “post-structuralism” is now self-evident in the way a VR user’s perceptions are altered. Six-dimensional spacetime isn’t, in the context of VR technology, that much more difficult to perceive.
