It is interesting to think about when we are in a discussion with another person or in sitting in a lecture, are we fully present? Most of the time our physical presence is there (in the room) but what about our mental presence? We tend to zone out to a part of our brain that allows abstract thinking and puts us into a more auto-pilot persona to where we are a part of a physical presence, but also we are a part of an outer presence.<\/p>

Let’s think about this in a virtual reality situation. You have your VR presence\/experience in the headset, then your physical presence in the room, but what about the zoning out? Where does this “daydream-like” thought come into play while in a VR environment? Can we still daydream in VR? What is the benefit if that it is possible?
