holoseeni

Holoseeni is a term used in discussions of immersive technology and philosophy of mind to describe the phenomenology of experiencing holographic representations as a coherent, presence-rich form of perception. It refers to the sense that a holographic scene supplied by a multimodal interface is not merely seen or heard, but consciously inhabited to a degree comparable to real-world perception.

The concept draws on holography, multisensory integration, and theories of presence. In holoseeni models, visual, auditory, haptic, and possibly olfactory cues are synchronized to produce a unified percept that the user treats as extended reality. Core components include spatial realism, temporal latency that is below conscious threshold, embodiment cues such as motion parallax and proprioceptive feedback, and an interface that responds to intentional actions.

Scholars distinguish variants such as weak holoseeni, where holographic content modulates experience without altering self-awareness, and strong holoseeni, where the user experiences a strong sense of being within the holographic environment. The framework is used to compare different systems and to study how perceptual fidelity and agency shape user behavior. It also serves as a lens for evaluating design trade-offs between fidelity, latency, and cognitive load.

Potential applications include education, medical training, design and prototyping, therapy, and entertainment. Holoseeni research intersects with neuroergonomics, human-computer interaction, and ethics, and it informs debates about the limits of perceptual realism in artificial environments.

Critiques note that holoseeni relies on assumptions about perception and neural correlates that vary across individuals. Questions remain about long-term exposure, cognitive load, accessibility, and the distinction between convincing illusion and actual perception.
