Real Virtuality
"'Real Virtuality"' was a concept that Mark Weiser used to contrast his idea of ubiquitous computing with the then popular notion that we would all spend a lot of time in virtual reality environments. He conceives of the concept in his influential 1991 article "The Computer for the 21st century", and explains that the "virtuality" of computers, in other words, the ability to compute, view, and alter data with a computer, will exist within our physical world, outside of an electronic shell.

Famous quotes containing the word real:
“But with some small portion of real genius and a warm imagination, an author surely may be permitted a little to expand his wings and to wander in the aerial fields of fancy, provided ... that he soar not to such dangerous heights, from whence unplumed he may fall to the ground disgraced, if not disabled from ever rising anymore.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
