An article from #Particle, a digital science publication from Australia aimed at young people, dives into emerging research showing how immersive gameplay can blur the line between the virtual and the real — influencing how we perceive sounds, sensations, and even everyday environments.

Grateful to Tom Gurn for the interview that sparked this reflection.
