Ascend Online was pioneering Full Immersion Virtual Reality (FIVR) technology, which thanks to the recent advances in nanotechnology, we would be able to experience a video game directly – without having to rely on a screen, headset or computer. All the information would be fed directly into our brain through the use of Nanobots or Nanites while our physical bodies were placed into a sort of artificial hibernation. From our perspective, our new reality would be one of the game world.
