After reading this article, I immediately started to see if I could find one nearby and found out about the one at Michigan State. Would it be possible for me to go there and sit inside for a bit to experience this, even though I'm not a MSU student?

Likewise, I'd like to try this... it seems cool as hell!

Hey all -- I can see if I can arrange something. The chamber is in the basement of the Communication Arts and Sciences building and I teach in the College--but I don't know who currently runs it. Let me send some emails and see what I can do.

Sure thing, I'd be up for a trip out there and maybe we can meet up and grab food/drinks afterwards.

Send me an email since you don't have one listed in your profile! agscala@gmail.com

I'd be very interested in coming along as well, if at all possible. I'm near Michigan State often, doing UX Design at TechSmith. Feel free to email me at bulletsvshumans@gmail.com .

If you are able to make this happen, it would be very interesting if you could get the visitors to write a short note before entering about what they expect, how well they think they'll handle the disorientation, etc. After they're done have them write a similar note about their experience and how reality matched up with their expectations.

For all of us that don't have access to such facilities, this kind of before/after diary might be very interesting.
