4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent 'get you going' resource for a first step in VR, 6 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This book is a modern boys own of VR. It contains enough information for the novice or enthusiast to construct several VR projects, including a VR glove, which is then developed to include transforms and other deep mathematics, methods of how a body suit could be contructed are hinted at. An excellent book giving just enough detail to encourage the reader to experiment, without giving a blueprint to follow to the letter. Also a brief history of VR, so this is not just for the constructor.
