1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong

Don't know how much time I'll have to draw for awhile, but I'll probably drop some ideas during classes/lectures --
1. I like World's End. lol World's End Virus? 2. Popular game: Genesis? 3. Comas from getting killed in avatar form or even just getting attacked by a digital entity in an AR. 4. Boss AI called mother/father? I'm kind of imagining it being a little girl/boy with a huge tentacle monster shadow lol.
How does the virus spread? Do you have to be infected by the boss AI, or can you "catch" it from another infected AI, or catch it from hanging out in/near World's End / glitchy places?
Negative space or something. World's End encroaching into different ARs / VRs and leaving unstable stuff around.
A hacker who's super pro but refuses to use glasses / anything AR or VR related because he thinks it's dangerous/unstable/boring. Uses a supercomputer with a ridiculous number of monitors. Maybe has bug/fairy/shadow/? avatar familiars that go around and display all the ARs/VRs for him on hundreds of viewports.
On the last point: Interestingly, if he had pet AIs with digital avatars, he wouldn't even be able to see them (unless they were looking at each other, in which case he could see them on the monitors). It'd be like having... Invisible cameras...
On that topic, I'm guessing AIs/digital entities can't enter other peoples' properties without permission? It's interesting because they're invisible to people unless they're in the same AR...
They...probably can't go anywhere that's blocked by a virtual wall (in their game/app of existence). I suppose special ones can turn invisible/go through walls if they want...e.g. security bots? Hmmm.
Thought about NPCs' visibility: I was thinking of having NPCs being represented in any other game/app (that is, not the one you're looking at) as some kind of a generic...thing...like those glowy fairies in Zelda? Which can be skinned by the game/app designer if they want, but anyway there's some kind of a marker there. You can't communicate with it if it's irrelevant to the game/app you're currently running. It's just there for show

Could have AIs only being allowed to be positioned in certain areas (i.e. the equivalent of hosting the game on a server - you can only put AIs on your personal property or at certain public "hotspots"). Possibly some companies/individuals have permission/licenses to let their AIs roam outside of these areas, but they need to have a robotic body/representation IN ADDITION to their fairy representation so people know that they're there

Pen scribbles during class. Uninspired but SHRUGS. I'm still quite fond of Frau. The randoms are really just doodles to fill up the white space, no real plans or attachments though I'm eyeing the idea of having a character with cables/plugs in the design somehow (either just accessories or connected directly to the character).

The Queen's Hounds / Mistress of Hounds / whatever
doodle to show off just exactly how long it's been since i've drawn any sort of dog
ANYWAY, spoilt prat, some high-level battle gamer type. Bonus points if their RL self is actually a male trap who's stuck using a female avatar for some reason but eventually just got used to it.
She's a summoner/mage type. Used to have a pack of over-sized hound AIs, but THEY ALL GOT VIRUS'D. This entire character is entirely just so I can have a tiny girl with huge knights as bodyguards.
NEED TO... MAKE MANLY DOG KNIGHT GIJINKAS...
newfie/pyrenees is named bear
the sarloos wolfhound doesn't get along with the rest of the pack, but he's her favourite and generally goes off to do his own thing for her
she can ride them while in VR. not possible in AR for obvious reasons, i guess?
i imagine the samoyed/pom being unexpectedly useful
