This article discusses the contradictory sensation of reality in virtual worlds, based on the Santiago and Geneva schools. A dual approach to the world by the subject is proposed, differentiating living being and observer, both of which meet and connect through sensory-motor interface. The latter, in providing support to consciousness and self-consciousness, establishes a type of duplicity as regards the production of meanings and signification, the results of which may be, for subjectivity, in virtual reality environments, an experience in which concrete and virtual are experienced and reflected as non-parallel worlds, spaces and times. These experiences and reflections, obtained by means of passing continuously between these different but interwoven worlds, can give rise to an effect of reality if they are coordinated, enabling Education, through the exercise of interpretation, to explore possible new ways of learning-feeling-knowing-conceptualizing-communicating, thus inaugurating new, alternative ways to understand Social Reality. Subjectivity, upon being co-opted to produce senses and signification, with the mediation of a sensory-motor corporality that both consists of and builds cognition, knows itself to be co-opted to produce senses and conceptualized signification, mediated by an observer-conceptualizer.
