VR.5 is now on the Sci-Fi Channel Tuesdays at 10:00 pm.
The Ten Levels of Virtual Reality
VR.2: Interactive (e.g., video games). User-controlled
manipulation of items on a screen.
VR.3: Flight simulator. The user manipulates items and
objects
on a screen and the simulator responds physically to
those actions. This level controls the space and place
containing the individual, but not the individual's
senses.
VR.4: Cyberspace. User is transplanted into an electronically
created world. Does not involve user being in
controlled
environment. Equipment that can neutralize the user's
sensory input necessary to alter reality (e.g., helmet,
gloves, bodysuit).
VR.5: Level at which Sydney initially operates. It provides a
window to the subconscious mind. User is taken into the
virtual world, accessed at the subconscious level.
Experiences, for all intents and purposes, are real for
the user. Results in little or no conscious recall of
virtual experiences for participants unwillingly brought
into virtual plane, yet subconscious behavior is
altered,
affecting real-world behavior.
VR.6: This level, much like VR.5, brings the user and
participant
into the virtual plane. Access is at the conscious
level,
with both user and participant having full recall of
virtual
experiences.
VR.7: Telepathy. Communication/experience via the mind,
rather
than via hardware. A cyberlink formed between the minds
of
two people without the need for a computer, monitor or
mouse/keyboard.
VR.8: The level Dr. Bloom reached. The ability to transplant
or
implant a single or multiple personality and life
experience
within the mind of the participant. Total mind
manipulation.
VR.9: The ability to manipulate the real world via the mind.
Telekinetic abilities. The virtual becomes real, and
reality becomes just one of the operating planes of the
user.
VR.10: All knowing, all seeing, the ability to transcend
normal,
natural, and physical laws governing experiences.
