I stood in Gordon Ramsay's absolutely lovely kitchen and stared at the Smeg toaster on his polished counters. I admired the windows to the garden, the jukebox in the corner and the adjoining open living room. I tried to walk in the living room and hit a VR barrier. That's where the scan ended. Gordon's home was a Quest-made 3D scan, a still-life of his lovely LA abode. I almost felt like I could sit down in a chair and wait for him to walk into the room, brandish a soufflé... and yell at me. M
