Virtual Hallucinations is an earphone-and-goggle training device for cops, paramedics and social workers which builds empathy with the mentally ill by putting them through the same experiences. It pretty much does what it says: simulates either schizophrenia or a really bad acid trip.
The first scenario puts you on a bus being attacked by predatory birds where people disappear and reappear, all while voices sinisterly tell you "He's taking you to the FBI!" Scenario two plants you at a pharmacy where the pharmacist hands you poison instead of meds, while people glare at you. (Kinda reminds me of Duane Reade.) – Matt Buchanan

I know I shouldn't, but I love how random these hallucinations are :D
If they start being sold commercially, I'm on it like a flannel.
i think they are getting the cops ready for fighting crime in the matrix lol

Cal,
I'm going to guess that these hallucinations aren't random. The first seems a bit odd, but I would imagine the second is quite common for the schizophrenic. A lot of them feel that their medicine is poison .. so a hallucination about it isn't that far off the mark.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a Sony AR41s Laptop and will like to purchase a headgear for VOIP purposes. I am willing to spend between £50-£60 but would like a very good quality item. I am at a loss at which brand I should obtain and whether I could purchase them over the counter etc. Thank you for your help! Francis.
