The invention of the television has transformed 20th-century society, but scientists are now working on ideas which make the crude escapism offered by the TV seem very tame indeed. Future Fantastic meets the pioneers who are using technology to create artificial experiences.

Currently in development are a mind interface which could allow people to navigate cyberspace with their thoughts alone, a brain scanner which could record a person's sensations and emotions for playing back later into another person's mind, and a memory chip which could be directly inserted into the human brain.

Presented by Gillian Anderson.
