I was going to respond to another responder that it feels like reaching up to adjust the shower head when you’re facing away, but that’s not entirely right. It’s more like... this is going to sound weird, but like it’s rotated in a higher dimension. It’s made me curious about 4D VR simulators. I had this feeling that perhaps they’d make a sort of sense to me, but the ones I’ve seen so far don’t, and I don’t know if it’s because I’m wrong, or they are.
That “feel” extends to fitting things together. I had a boss who would ask to fit something else into a UI, and every time I told him it won’t fit, he didn’t believe me. So then we had to waste a man-week to show him he was wrong, and then he would forget that I told him that already and we’d do it again in a few weeks.
Man I was so glad when he laid me off. Best severance I ever got.
