When virtual objects move or interact in a way that feels unnatural, this breaks the sense of realness by creating a visual “hiccup” that sticks out and disrupts the user experience. With MR apps, the seamless and physically accurate blending of virtual and physical objects is paramount for preventing these types of user experience breaks.

Davidoff began experimenting with VR using image data from the Curiosity rover on Mars. There had been attempts to solve the visual distance issue, like using 3D imagery viewable with red and blue filtered glasses, but nothing made scientists feel like they were really there.
