Ford's PR writer needs to have used suite.Actually, it IS an article of clothing/eye covering designed to simulate the body/mind/sense disconnect that comes with mind-altering drugs of various types. The demonstration is for the folks to don the garment, plug it into the simulator, and see firsthand how their senses and body parts malfunction under the influence.

talmy Report post Posted February 28, 2016 Oh? Crazy! Back when I was in college (talking early 70's) there was a reaction tester in on of the classroom buildings. Our school had a beer bash on Fridays (I'm sure they don't anymore) and I tested myself before and after a single beer. Found my reaction time was halved. That was a "sobering" thought. No simulations involved! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
