One of the strangest experiences, similar to how I imagine Alice felt while chasing the white rabbit through Wonderland, comes from using the latest HTC Vive virtual reality headset.
There was no tea party and I had clearly missed the Cheshire Cat, but it felt very much like an out-of-body experience.
One minute I'm standing in a small area in Noel Leeming Queen St with a tech guru explaining the strange headgear I'm about to put on.
The next, I'm in a lab - gaming machines to my right, a whiteboard to my left, and a few hundred metres away, the other side of the building. I instantly get the strange experience of standing in an empty room with a voice talking to me.
It's easy to forget that I probably look silly to passers-by. My reality is now what I'm seeing through the goggles.
