VR.5 - High technology computer program application showcased on the sci-fi
series VR.5/FOX/1995. Lori Singer starred as Sydney Bloom, a young telephone
company repair technician who discovers she has the ability to enter into
the human mind by using VR-Virtual Reality 5.
Sitting at the keyboard of her
homemade computer, she dials up another person. When they answer, she
quickly "mind jumps" into their psyche and experiences their memories and the
potential dangers that lurk within their minds.

A mysterious organization
called the Committee covets Sidney's special abilities and coerced her to
perform VR interventions on a select clientele.
Sydney later discovered that
her scientist father Dr. Joseph Bloom (David McCallum) and sister, Samantha
(Tracey Neeham) - long thought drowned - were alive and somehow figured into
her seemingly supernatural talents.

Virtual Reality:

Sydney: |
I want to know how virtual reality works?
|
|
Dr.
Morgan: |
Are we communicating right now? |
|
Sydney: |
I guess. |
|
Dr.
Morgan: |
But you can't see me and I can't see you,
is that
right? |
|
Sydney: |
Yeah. |
|
Dr.
Morgan: |
We're both having an experience that requires each
of our minds to fill in the blanks. Is that right? |
|
Sydney: |
Yeah. |
|
Dr. Morgan: |
Well, that's it. You just had a
virtual experience.
