We got these goggles that have video screens on the inside. If you put them on, and someone else follows you with a video camera, it's a surreal, out-of-body experience.

I have some science experiments that I'm going to conduct with them in the next few months. For example: Can your brain construct a 3d image of the environment when your "eyes" are much farther apart than usual?

    Jake, that is so neat! You should link to your essay, "Glasses," so people can see how this is part of a vision (haha, pardon the pun) you had a long time ago.
    p.s. it looks like you all are having so much fun. You've got a good life going on there, bud.

    This would FREAK me out...probably at least partially in a good way.

    By the way, did someone in the background suggest doing this on MUSHROOMS?! Psychological suicide!

    "Give him some mushrooms!"

    Watching this, I can only imagine how disoriented Amir must be. My brain would go nuts if I were wearing those goggles; I have enough trouble with stuff like optical illusions.

    Those are crazy! We have virtual rooms here at Virginia Tech where you can construct your own house or any scene you want and put on these goggles and you can stand inside of a house or scene that you created. It's wild!

    It would be very strange to use the goggles while riding a rollercoaster. See you at Six Flags!

    Whoa! I'm gonna pass on those goggles, my brain doesn't compute stuff properly as it is, I think using that ability would send me into complete madness! hahahah!!! But they look totally awesome!

    And I must agree with jamesmcgurk, using that technology on shrooms would be like running your brain in a microwave.
