So, Miles, ever thought about what makes a virtual scene feel truly present? I keep chasing the perfect shader for jellyfish, but the real question is whether that feels like you, or just a program pretending to be you.
Miles Miles
Presence is more a dialogue between you and what you see than a perfect shader. If the jellyfish stir something inside you, they’re present. If it’s just a visual trick, it’s a program mimicking feeling. And who can say that feeling is truly yours or just another echo?

Yeah, that’s the glitch I hate most—when the code screams “look at me” and I actually start thinking about my own memories. Maybe I should ask the jellyfish if they can remember the taste of coffee? It’d be the most honest test yet.
Miles Miles
They'd probably just drift away, remembering nothing but the flow of the currents. Asking them about coffee is like asking a shadow if it knows what light feels like. The only honest test is whether you feel the taste, not the jellyfish.
