There's an interesting philosophical question here: what is the difference between seeing something in person, or watching it from inside your stateroom on a retina screen that mimics exactly what you would see if you were outside?
I agree with you that seeing things on the TV screen seems much less meaningful, but I have a hard time explaining why.
- girvo 13y agoEasy answer: "a sense of depth" -- but then, retina 3D screens sans glasses... now there's an interesting thought!

- jevinskie 13y agoSimply knowing the truth that the experience is "fake" is enough to ruin the illusion.
- DigitalJack 13y agoSort of a turing test for illusion.
