How David and Lucy was able to move around in this moon BD like a VR game? I though BD was just for watching.

It’s a cartoon
Thats actually a pretty good question. It’s an error in the anime. Normally braindances are locked to the person who experienced the scene you’re seeing and you can only exit the person when you’re in the editor mode, but thats also entirely different than what Lucy and David was doing.
Chalk that up as, “it was cooler to do it that way so they did. ”
But you’re right. BDs are pre-recorded experiences that you have no control over. So unless they recorded it doing exactly what David did, it’s a bit of a retcon.
There are interactive simulations as well, you can see simplified ones when they interact with the cyberspace.
Virtual realty probably used the same technology at the user end. This is probably a virtual reality simulation based on combined bd’s and called a bd by the average joe for simplicity sake.
Dunno man, V walked through Yorinobu room while Parker talked to him.
Do they call it a braindance in the anime? I don’t actually remember.
​
That being said, from doing a superficial search, virtual reality things do exist in the setting, and some of them even use BD technology, which would explain why they are called BD as a matter of simplification.
I believed it was because Lucy moded the BD to allow more freedom within it, when you have the skills and tech to better live out your dream you’re gonna do it.
(Also it makes for an awesome scene in the anime)
We move around in BDs several times…. if BD editing allows movement and interaction with environment, I imagine there are ones where that movement is intended for the user as well…
Aren’t there Virtus that use the BD headsets but are basically VR?
could be like the ar game you play with river
I always thought it was because they were linked to the BD console in her apartment. Maybe it’s like how we play VR games via a computer to explore places.
Maybe the normal BD is locked to what is recorded because the BD wreaths can’t handle a free full rendered environment on their own.
yall remember the brain dance jackie gives you, probably works like that
I mean, in the game we wander around raw brain dances all the time so I imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult for someone to add a feature that allows the person in the BD to create an avatar of themselves. Plus, not all BDs are like the ones we see in game, some of them are more like virtual environments/VR.
Most of the bds we use are made for one point of view, there’s probably others types since brain dance seems to be just a more advanced vr with more ways to be experienced so there’s probably more types made for different experiences like walking on the moon etc etc
Wasn’t the tutorial vr thingy that that Jackie gives to you in the beginning of the game an interactive BD too?
BDs are like an upgraded VR tech.
They can be prerecorded videos or interactive like a game.
We know from the tutorial Jackie gives us there’s interactive simulations that don’t even require a bd headset.
