  • For the brains of the consumer, online experiences are just as important as offline.

  • Multisensory experiences move along the reality-virtuality continuum, where they can go from real through mixed reality (e.g. augmented reality) to fully virtual (e.g. virtual reality).

  • Beyond tech, online content has the power to bring up sensory memories experienced in real life, simply by conjuring fond memories with tastes, scents, and colors.
