What are simulated experiences?

Simulated experiences are like playing pretend but with special tools that help you feel and see what’s happening, just like when you play with your favorite toys.

Imagine you're in a playroom where everything is magical, not because it's magic, but because the room can change around you. If you’re pretending to be on a spaceship, the floor might shake like you're flying through space, and the lights could flash like stars. That’s a simulated experience!

Like Playing with a Special Playground

A simulated experience is when you use a special kind of playground, maybe a computer or a game, that makes you feel like you’re really there. It's like wearing a pair of 3D glasses and stepping into your favorite cartoon.

If you're playing a video game where you can run, jump, and even fight dragons, that’s a simulated experience too! You’re not just watching, you're living the adventure.
