"Very accessible introduction to virtual reality systems" according to calvinnme. This text does not pertain to any new research in the field of virtual reality or virtual environments. Instead, it is meant to be a modern introduction (post VRML) to students new to VR on what building blocks are required to produce a virtual reality system. I review the book in the context of its table of contents:Chapter 1 "Introduction: Virtual Reality in a Nutshell" is just a broad overview of the field and of this book. It discusses the goals and appli. "introduces the field" according to W Boudville. It is nice to see what the status of virtual reality work is these days. About 10 years ago, VRML was all the rage. But that died in the dot com implosion. In part because of the lack of computational and bandwidth ability.Now the technology has progressed much further, and Kim shows us interesting new possibilities. The book does not really go that far in research, however. It's more of a first text in the field, for a graduate or undergraduate level course.
