This reminds me a lot of metamers, in that they have the same principle of being able to deceive someone because of the ways their eyes perceive the world. Just like metamers helped us display all possible colors, VR helps us display all possible real life situations.

"Slowglass" is a term that comes from how light moves slower through glass; technically, light slows down when it passes through any medium, right? I'm a bit curious if there's a particular reason why this is named the way it is.

To fully simulate the visual experience, could we also account for other senses, such as sound or feel, that can influence the way we interpret what we see?

@x-fa19 The name "slowglass" actually comes from the science fiction short story "Light of Other Days." In the story, there is a store which sells "slow glass," glass through which light takes years to pass. Using "slow glass," the characters of the story are able to view scenes from their past in vivid detail.
