Questionable Content, Important Topic

I can't believe I wasted 15 minutes of my life on this dog of an article. Go, my children, and improve this so that it may become a valuable resource to all of English-speaking humanity. - Seazzy (talk) 22:05, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I love Sci-Fi and would really like to see some experts improve content and citations here - Seazzy (talk) 15:13, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary selection of TV series…

How was this list of TV series created? “Deadly Assassin” isn’t even the first example in “Doctor Who” - what about “The Velvet Web”, episode two of the 1964 Doctor Who story The Keys of Marinus? Disembodied brains put the TARDIS crew under the influence of a mind-altering device which has them see their surroundings as luxurious apartments, and food and drink as a banquet, whereas the reality is that they are visions summoned by hypnosis, and they are in fact in ruins, eating meagre fare. The programme makes it clear that they are victims of an augmented reality which overlays on actual events and surroundings. “The Prisoner” (1967) has the episode “a, b & c” in which Nº6 is drugged and attached to a machine - more or less the same idea as the “Doctor Who” story your answer alludes to - which uses a computer to make him believe he is at a party. “Star Trek: The Animated Series” (1973) introduced the holo-deck, which, as in later live action series, allowed crew members to interact in a realistic 3D environment without drugs, coma or direct attachment to a computer - this too predates the “Doctor Who” serial given as the example. These are just three results I can think of, off the top of my head - there may be episodes of other programmes even earlier: The Avengers, The Twilight Zone, Out of the Unknown and The Outer Limits all suggest themselves as other places to look, never mind things like Playhouse 90 and all the other anthology series.

Jock123, would you consider working on the TV section by adding your suggestions? Seazzy (talk) 21:01, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Diffusing the differences between realities to make clearer

I plan to contribute the definition of virtual reality and augmented reality (and others) as well as its impact on modern society.
