I don't recall seeing it mentioned, and I'd remember a name like that. (VVV) :biggrin:

No, I'm pretty sure that hasn't been mentioned.
Very interesting!

oh no.
i dont like this connection.
at all.
it could ruin lost for me if this is virtual reality.

Don't worry, the TPTB have made it clear that Lost is very real. No dream or VR stuff.

Still I wonder what VR has to do with The Lost Experience.

I was thinking interesting in more of a metaphoric sense, not literally being VR.
I agree that it would be a disappointing cop-out as the actual plot, though I did think of it previously as a possible theory a while back.

When my father bought his toupee, it was 'hair apparent' ... Hmmm... :)

Still I wonder what VR has to do with The Lost Experience.The lost Experience is classified under the description ARG or Alternate Reality Gaming.

Since the "alternate reality" is fictional, it could be said to be make believe, not real, artificial, an emulation of reality.

Something which can be summed up with one word - Virtual.
