A key theme in the first lecture following the subject of the island assessment was the boundaries between the real and the virtual or the unreal. Coming from a landscape architecture background and looking to apply real-time tools to that profession one of the key questions for me is what affects our ability to distinguish between the two.
With new hardware like the Oculus Rift creating the potential for a more immersive virtual world, we need to follow Russell's example of looking closely at the real world to inform our virtual creations and gradually erode the boundaries that separate them.
