Immersive technology only feels convincing when many separate parts work as one system. A headset may get the attention, but the experience depends just as much on tracking, audio, controllers, haptics, content, lighting, networking, and safety gear. If one part lags or feels wrong, the illusion breaks.

A painting can now respond to a viewer’s movement. A sculpture can exist only as light. A gallery can fit inside a headset, a browser, or a public square after dark.
