| How I originally saw things | |||||||||||
| GREEN | Live action. Real or Virtual POV. Virtual aesthetic limited to colour and framerate (no GUI). | ||||||||||
| ORANGE | Live action. Virtual POV. Virtual aesthetic includes heads-up display or conventional GUI (e.g real-time GUI elements) | ||||||||||
| RED | Live action. Virtual POV. Virtual aesthetic includes CG elements pre-rendered and integrated with live action. | ||||||||||
| The distinction between virtual reality and reality in the story has more to do with the amount of information that is available, | |||||||||||
| rather than the degree of photo-realism. Immersion is more about how digital elements interact with the real world, | |||||||||||
| rather than what they look like. | |||||||||||
| Therefore there would be no obvious distinction between Blade's POV (from within the virtual simulation of the bush) and | |||||||||||
| a Trooper's POV (from within the real bush being simulated) because their views are both augmented by the same kind | |||||||||||
| of technology (the RIG). | |||||||||||
