On the borders of virtuality and the virtuality of borders

While virtual reality promises a whole world, in fact it only offers a view within the strictly defined boundaries of a sphere. Is this also applicable on the strictly defined boundaries of the European Union? When crossing the borders of the European Union, one is not allowed to film. This also applies to Google and their Street View cars, resulting in gaps in the available Street View coverage within the area of EU border control posts. The Euro dome is increasingly made more visible and intimidating from the outside: high fences with barbed wire stand tall along the border and armed border patrols pass by on a regular base. While from inside the dome, one can only see a virtual glimpse of its borders. A faint reflection or a delayed feedback version.
