"Yeah, we've seen bizarre apparatuses that bring about otherworldly feelings, but new studies have reportedly been able to induce out-of-body experiences with just a set of \"virtual reality goggles, a camera, and a stick.\" Apparently, the \"research reveals that the sense of having a body, of being in a bodily self, is actually constructed from multiple sensory streams,\" and when the newfangled system forces individuals to peer at \"an illusory image of themselves\" while the stick prods them \"in a certain way,\" the guinea pigs said they felt as if they had been removed from their bodies. Of course, it seems the real purpose here circles more around the science of the brain rather than hashing out a DIY guide to accomplish this on your own, and no, so far as we can tell, it (unfortunately) does not play Doom."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
