Analysis of Virtual Reality
Experience that's virtual affect the body and mind.
It simulates the actual: differentiation's blind.
Paintings of good, delicious food generates salivation.
They instigate a hungry mood: appetite satiation.
Travel-logs about foreign lands transport to the very place.
They obviate the maps and plans: imagined steps will retrace.
Common fragrances stimulate associated recall.
Events remembered validate: smell burning leaves during fall.
Sounds and beats of familiar tunes lead back to specific times.
Relive romantic nights in June: excavate subconscious mines.
Photographs of sexy lovers can arouse the libido.
Heightened feelings soon uncover nude bathing at the lido.
The hypothalamus of the brain can make no clear distinction
between "as-if" or "real and main:" identical transmission.
