It would have been simpler for everyone if all of the board members were jacked into the Matrix directly. In the world of cyberspace it was possible to project any image directly into the user’s sensorium without the need for holographic projectors and the often fussy nature of projected light and sound. But that was not considered an option. Despite Renraku’s reputation as the one of the top computer corporations in the world, many of the board members preferred to keep themselves grounded in the physical world. Those who were forced to attend sudden afternoon board meetings in person insisted on the right to remain in the physical world and have their Matrix associates join them there.
