She then comes to the dedicated room wondering what she will have to do. She uses her phone to confirm the appointment and that she is ready. She then puts on the black headset which greets her and asks her to confirm that her name in indeed Julieta. Once she does an environment representing a cartoonish forest appear all around her. Some subtle souns like wind, birds, water become more and more present. For 30 seconds or so nothing seem to happen beside a small “Welcome Julieta” text slightly in front of her. She notices the controlers in her hands are represented by a pair of white gloves. She brings them closer to her face a couple of times. Under the “Welcome Julieta” text more text appears, suggesting her to relax and consider the goal she set aside for this session. More text appear letting her know that her documents are being loaded in her dedicated space. She notices behind her a timer counting down the 30min she set aside for this session.
Finally after a minute her DropBox folder appear with the title she choose earlier “AR lenses IMEC new process (VR test)”. All the articles as PDF are represented as boxes with as cover the front page in the size of an A4 page. The depth of the boxes are different but she is not sure why. After moving forward slightly she notices she can walk to a box, or document, to be able to read the content more conveniently. Each document appear few seconds after the precedent in no obvious order. She steps back and forth as all the documents are finally displayed as lines of 7 documents forming a 5x7 grid. She steps further back to look at all of them. She starts to wonder if the can apply the same orgnisation she used on the floor of her room few weeks ago.

Unsure if it possible she extends her arm and noticed that when her white glove intersect with a document, the document glows slightly and her controler vibrate. She does it a couple of times until texts appear next to the documents indicating “To move a document, click on button under your index finger”. She tries it, using her thumb at first but then finally moves the document just few centimeters to the left. She repeats it a couple of times then decides to try on another document. She starts to move all documents, spreading them around her randomly. After a minute or so playing around she steps back again, wondering if indeed the classification used before would work. She scans over all documents and find the most theoretical one and brings it to the top left corner, however far she can reach. She repeats the process for few more documents then decides it is already better but not apply so well this time as it is hard for her to assess the rate of progress as well as last time since the process is so recent. She steps back again and wonder what criteria would be more appropriate. She decides that because of the process being new reliability could be interesting. She then moves all papers discussing the fabrication process would go on the right side her space, moving 10 articles there. She moves all other articles on the left. While moving them she notices that quite a few mention potential health concerns and challenges of bio interfaces. She moves those 5 articles to the top. She notices some remaining articles are probably outdated and wants to remove them. She is not sure how so she moves then behind her back, “Out of sight, out of mind” she thinks. While looking around she notices a + box on her right. She brings her hand to it and a carton like boxes unfolds. A text prompt with a keyboard invites her to name that folder. She is not sure but writes “Outdated”. She then brings all articles that were behind her in that box and see them becoming very small but still visible inside. She looks around her feeling her space already neater. She also notices the time is running out. She wonders what she should do next but before she does a message warns her that “Only 5 minutes left, all content will remain saved in place.”. A metadata document appear and moves with an animation to a 3D logo of DropBox that sits above her, seemingly out of reach. She is not sure what it meant but she feels confident that, like last time at home, her classification is helping her to more efficiently go through her research domain. She looks around her, trying to memorize the space and wonder if it will truly be there next time. As another text “1 minute left, it is now 18:27 and the weather is cloudy in Ghent.” appear before her. A camera shutter sound resonates as a photo of her viewpoint is taken with the name “AR lenses IMEC new process (VR test) _ screenshot.jpg” and also moves back to the DropBox logo. The forest fades away as another text appear “Please remove the headset now. Have a good day Julieta”. She removes the headset and sites for am minute. The web page she used to confirm her presence now displays “Sessions saved” with the screenshot take in VR. She notices that new file in her DropBox and a new directory named “Outdated”. She is quite curious to see if her files are really saved since her DropBox folder, beside the metadata document, screenshot and new direcyory, look just like it was before. She notices the website has a link to explore her “space” on her phone. She sees that her documents are indeed same in the correct position. She feels confident they will remain there and she can’t help but wonder if it is the right place. She unfortunately has to move on but books another session for the following day.

### Second VR session
The following day she repeats the process a lot more efficiently and notices right away that all files are indeed exactly where she left them. She gets familiar much more quickly with the environment, the same forest she was inside of last time.

She looks back at the implicit groups she created.
She then grabs the Outdated folder and moves it again behind her, away from her focus.
She takes a document from the top and moves it to the plus sign.
The end of the session warning appears with the saving message and screenshot shutter sound letting her know all her work is again saved.
She smiles and removes the headset.
She is still unsure she will be ready for her PhD but at least she feels confident she is forming in her mind and thus in her following papers a more synthetic structure of her field of research.
She takes her phone out of her pocket, have a brief look at the screenshot preview and her better structured Dropbox folder then moves back to the other tasks she has to do for the day.
