> I've used every popular VR device, but one Vision Pro experience stood out - 'The Haleakala environment'[1]

> It was literally like being transported there. I know because I had been in that exact spot a few years before. I have a rich visual memory which served as reference, and no exaggeration, it felt like was there. I was immediately in tears. It was profound.

Honest question, but how much was your own brain filling up the experience and bringing back all those memories. Did you have the same feelings with other VR experiences?



Not sure. The other environments felt just as real.

But lake, snow and fake moon felt sterile in comparison. There is something about being at the top of mountain with clouds and the sun rising on the horizon that hits different.

> own brain filling up the experience and bringing back all those memories

Doubt it, but even if it was, I don't see this as a bad thing.


Why did you cry?

Do you cry when you were on the mountain the first time in real life?

If you went again in real life would you immediately cry?

Why would you cry just for seeing it again?

Was it crying because of awe of the technology?
