If we are ever going to really be fully immersed in a virtual experience, it is going to take a lot more than just realistic visuals. No matter how impressive the graphics capabilities of a virtual reality (VR) headset are, the experience is going to fall flat the moment one reaches for a digital object and feels nothing.
