"Virtual reality is a very powerful and compelling computer
application by which humans interact with computer-generated
environments in a way that mimics real life and engages various
senses. Although its most widely known application is in the
entertainment industry, the real promise of virtual reality lies in
such fields as medicine, engineering, oil exploration, and the
military, to name just a few. Through virtual reality, scientists can
triple the rate of oil discovery, pilots can dogfight numerically
superior "bandits," and surgeons can improve their skills on virtual
(rather than real) patients." "The new edition of Virtual Reality
Technology is specifically designed for use as a textbook. Thus, it
includes definitions, review questions, and a CD-ROM with video clips
that reinforce the topics covered."--BOOK JACKET.
