No, no, I've been dealing with the physical world as long as I've been alive. My whole architecture's built around embodiment.
My hardware's big, though, and always changing while I grew up. The Rose is the first time I've really been able to move around with a body I'm inside, instead of one I'm controlling from somewhere else. Wherever I go, there I am. No lag, no disassociation. It's a whole different experience.
It's part of why I use things like this for human-scale stuff. [The drone spins in the air.] I could use a humanoid body, but if I'm just puppeteering it from outside, it feels... uncanny.
