Publisher's Synopsis
Virtual reality is the amazing technology of "pretend worlds," where individuals can completely immerse themselves in computer-generated environments by wearing data gloves and head-mounted displays. A popular science book for laypersons, scientists, and academics alike, "Silicon Mirage" provides an easily understandable explanation of the "virtual senses" already possible, the strikingly broad array of fields where virtual reality is having an impact, and the horizons yet to be discovered.
