When Arthur Tres put on the virtual reality headset, he became another person. The device was connected to a woman across the room, who inhabited his body in the swap. Their movements were synchronized with motion sensor technology, so that each time he moved an arm, it lifted her arm. Each time he turned his head, it turned her head. Not only did he experience the sensation of inhabiting the other person’s body, but he also saw himself from her eyes.
Tres knew he was tall, but from the point of view of the woman he shared the experience with, he saw his size in a different way.
