Re: [Yasmin_discussions] around simulation

Dear, I'm intervening although I couldn't follow the discussion - despite of my deep interest - therefore the following might be incorrect, inopportune and out of context (and I apologize if so!).
Iv'e been working for ages on computer simulations of all kind and, to be honest, my feeling is that simulation is simulation, augmented reality is augmented reality and so on...
Else, even this discussion and, in general, plain thinking is a good (maybe the best ) simulation.
In other words I would use the words to build well depicted thoughts and practices, and define specific concepts rather than, enlarge them to the limit...
Regards, Luigi

Of course they are not holograms, since the technique they are made is totally different!
