Lots of people have some interesting ideas and as a matter of fact I've been working on a series of experiments, tangentially related to this subject, for the past couple of months. But those experiments really deal with different methods of human control over our own experiential and perceptual modes. But it all reminded me of this.You've got a really good point here. But within the context of Imaginary World versus Virtual World there is no reason that a form of portable, compact technology, capable of augmenting or modifying human sensory capabilities (say to mimic animal senses) cannot be developed to assist with both Virtual systems (fixed, preprogrammed systems) and with Imaginary systems (say to enhance ad hoc, mind and imagination based RPG play and experience).So although such a technologically based system might seem naturally suited or coupled to Artificial Virtual Worlds (it might automatically be assumed artificial sensory enhancement systems are best suited to Virtual architectures, that isn't necessarily really the case), there is also no need to think such a system would be incompatible with Imaginary Enterprises. In other words the ideas and ideals behind the system don't necessarily limit application to one type of endeavor. Such technologies could have equally beneficial, though slightly different, applications in different realms of experimental modes. I'm not arguing with you, so much as pointing out that the applications are not necessarily limited, though they might necessarily need to assume different interfacing forms.Anywho, I gotta go.Interesting read.Carry on folks.</blockquote>
