Virtual realism

About this book

From the simple VR games found in upscale video arcades to the ultimate "immersion"--The CAVE, a surround screen, surround sound system that projects 3-D computer graphics into a ten-foot high cube--virtual reality has introduced what is literally a new dimension of reality to daily life. This book takes a thought-provoking look at the implications of virtual reality for our culture and suggests ways of living with this technology. 20 color illustrations.
