There’s something magical about the room, but not in a nice way.
Is Ellen imagining the figure on the wall, or is it really there? Dad told her not to make up imaginary friends or foes. Wait and watch if the object under observation can really harm.
The figure does not move, but something leaps down to touch her from that strange chandelier. She loses appetite, and goes to bed with a glass of milk.
Next morning, her brother says whatever appeared to leap at her was a fancy light effect.
She needs more time to prepare for augmented reality.

Spooky Reena. That lampshade is enough to make anyone flee from the dining table….or have nightmares. Thank you.

Yes, you have raised a good point; at what stage do we confuse cyber space objects for those we can touch.

If it was augmented reality, she can attribute it to the augmentation rather than the reality

Oh this reminds me of my first (only) experience with VR. Didn’t like it. Didn’t like it at all.
