There are two basic ways to access the Matrix; through AR (Augmented Reality) where various Matrix related data and information is overlaid your normal vision via AR Glasses or cyber-eyes, etc. The second is called ‘Emersion’ where one “projects” their consciousness into the Matrix or a vehicle or drone or security system.

There are two basic ways to access the Matrix; through AR (Augmented Reality) where various Matrix related data and information is overlaid your normal vision via AR Glasses or cyber-eyes, etc. The second is called ‘Emersion’ where one “projects” their consciousness into the Matrix or a vehicle or drone or security system, using a Persona. Anyone can experience what they refer to as cold emersion via a comlink with the Emersion upgrade, while hot emersion requires a Datajack. While using either level of Emersion your 'meat-body' is helpless and oblivious to the world around it. All of your ‘reality’ (sight, touch, feel, smells etc.) are filtered through the Matrix or drone or vehicle or security systems perceptive. While using hot-Emersion you have advantage on your Initiative checks and gain an extra action each round. This extra action can only be used for Matrix actions. See below. However being in not emersion can be dangerous as a decker can die from lethal bio-feedback caused by IC system. Magical spells and affects have no impact or grant no aid in the Matrix, nor do any non-Decker Talents. Most Feats also don’t help you in the Matrix unless it’s related to Programs or affect Mental Skills – Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma (and Charisma skills are rarely of us). Most physical cybernetics also has no effect in the Matrix like Wired Reflexes or Cybernetic Eye replacements. A Vehicle Control Rig and a Cerebral Boost are the two exceptions.

In the world of 2050+ most everyone interacts with the Matrix via either AR or Emersion. You can still type on an old style computer terminal but these are slow and almost no one uses them anymore. As one maneuvers through the Matrix one encounters massive amounts of data but much of it is hidden behind firewalls.
