Impossible (Food) Experiences in Extended Reality

We introduce a model to think about impossible experiences in mixed and virtual reality, while emphasizing the role of said experiences in the context of food. This reality-impossibility model includes two continua, namely, the reality-fantasy character of objects and environments, and the extent to which they follow the laws of physics-other laws. We present a series of examples in each of the quadrants of the model and discuss both the research possibilities and implications of impossible experiences.

Automated summary

This study introduces a reality-impossibility model to examine impossible experiences in mixed and virtual reality, focusing on their role in the context of food. By providing examples in each quadrant of the model, the research possibilities and implications of impossible experiences are discussed.
