  1. Virtual reality is a way to present computer-generated images in a way that feels very "real." So if there were a way to turn memories or dreams into computer-generated images, then probably yes.

  2. I would have agreed — but empirical evidence suggests otherwise. I've used these slides in several presentations to mixed audiences (from experts to random people off the street), and gotten a bunch of feedback in terms of "oh, now I understand."

    The problem with videos is that they inherently show a first-person view, but can't illustrate really well what happens inside the viewer's eyes and heads. Combining this and that might work; will try that next.

  3. when explaining topics like this – prolific use of actual video examples is needed.

    your video is all technically correct of course, but it relies heavily on wordily explaining abstract concepts – when just simple video examples would be more intuitive.
    (eg: show an actual stereoscopic image changing as you alternatively close one eye then the other)
