A '''sensorium''' is a personal augmented reality technology developed during the [[Golden Age]] that uses induced, hallucinatory sensory perceptions (including sight, hearing, and touch) to deliver information to its user.

Sensorium telemetry can be recorded, allowing users to re-experience a given moment in time with all their senses, even another person's. [[Mara Sov]], in her time as a crew member aboard the ''[[Yang Liwei]]'', developed a cult following for distributing sensorium recordings of herself experiencing near-death by exposure to open space without a spacesuit, allowing other crew members to vicariously experience the same.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Brephos_II|Marasenna, Brephos II]]''</ref> After her transfer into an [[Exo]], [[Elsie Bray]] used sensorium reconstructions of her memories to compensate for her post-upload amnesia.<ref>'''[[Mysterious Logbook]]''', "Entry 13", ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#Entry_13|Entry 13]]''</ref>
