Virtual Reality: Through the New Looking Glass

by PIMENTEL KEN & TEIXEIRA KEVIN, Ken Pimentel

An informative, yet refreshingly nontechnical, overview of virtual reality. Explains what Virtual Reality is and how it works, how it has evolved from early post-war flight simulators to today's widely diverse research efforts. Focuses, however, on practical applications that will soon be available to the general public. Readers get a behind-the-scenes look at the next generation of VR tools for personal computers.

I also think just vr games aren’t that interesting of an experience. I don’t know, when I bought a vr headset, I played a couple games, and I wasn’t impressed. Not what I was expecting. Projects like braindance vr, which are more about practical experience, are way more interesting. Among them, including these vr porn games, there are a lot of indie projects, and I think they’re made better, with more attention from developers.
