Hey …. hey!! Wake up …..  take a look around you. Is this usually the first thing that you engage with as you wake up in the morning? Let's go take a quick walk can see how immersed we are in our extended reality already.

To start out, we're talking about different kinds of devices. XR Devices usually have an electrical source, adjustable volume, dials, knobs, or buttons, possibly a microphone, maybe a screen, a projected light source, and most importantly a user. Look carefully at the other objects that might have been included. Have you grown up with any of these devices or variations? Have you ever been a user for any of these experiences?

Notice how the screens or light projections are just getting closer and closer to your eyes. The more advanced, immersive, detailed that it is, the more that it surrounds you and convinces you of what reality could be. Don't get me wrong, there are many experiences that are very fascinating in XR. It changes how you see your reality. It's very engaging and you believe that you're there.

Within the virtual reality space, there are countless stories of how realistic the experiences are. All sorts of different situations arise because they lose track of who and where they are. Now take a moment and pause. How many of these XR devices have you been around? How many of them have shaped your reality? How many of them are still convincing you of different things than our reality?

Think carefully of the different terms that people might call your extended reality. They might call it a simulation. They might call it the matrix. They might call it an illusion. They might market it in many different ways. What’s the current trend that people are using? Some need to keep you in such an extended reality, but listen carefully. Never forget how incredible, how powerful, how amazing you are. Never ever forget that again.

Think back in your life of the number of things that have been seared into your memory intentionally. Think about things that have been programmed into you. Television. Tell - a - vision. TV programs are a show. Life is a stage and you’re watching a show. Wake up to the extended reality that you’ve been in.
