You could feel as though you were in any space imaginable.

Keep in mind that your real body will be suspended in a suit, probably from the back, (almost like a puppet.)

Motion limiters built into the suit would give you "mime" function, so that you could feel floors and walls, and furniture, in the artificial space you are in.

The computer would generate the feeling of the various textures of things.

However, if you were in an outer space scenario, you would still feel the pull of gravity. You'd still know up from down.

In an underwater scene, you'd feel an artificial slowness to your movements.

Another interesting concept to think about is the android robot whose body "you" occupy when visiting someone else.

Various models should be available, male, female, child. Perhaps even a unisex model that could adjust to be either male or female, and you could play either role if you wanted to.

One could collect several such robots together and ... and .... we could put on a play!
