From: ROBIN HOLLANDS Subject: PUB: A Good Magazine VR Article! Date: Wed, 16 Aug 1995 14:17:25 +0100 The September issue PC-PRO Magazine (in the UK) has a stunning 6 page article on VR entitled "Brave New Worlds". The preface says: "Hyped-up stories of virtual sex and interactive gaming adventures have obscured the serious side to virtual reality. Dick Pountain assesses whether VR can improve our lives" The article provides a general overview of virtual reality, concentrating mainly on what benefits VR can bring to standard applications. Reading between the lines it would appear as though the journalist has got his information from only a small number of sources (mainly VR equipment suppliers), but saying that, the article is well balanced and without hype or hysteria. After the rash of scare-mongering stories on cybersickness which hit the British media recently, it's very refreshing to see such a well written piece of journalism! Robin (UK VR-SIG Chairman) P.S. The cover CD-ROM contains a full working version of Virtek's excellent VR world editor.
