Lies and Perception

In constructing virtual realities, you'd think that fidelity to reality would be key to making them feel, well, real. And for some it is. But for others, placing such importance in making virtual reality feel no different from the real world is obscuring the fact that effective virtual reality is not about verisimilitude. Instead, it is about delusions, and how we lie to ourselves to make sense of our perception.
