Book excerpt: From the simple VR games found in upscale video arcades to the ultimate "immersion"--The CAVE, a surround screen, surround sound system that projects 3-D computer graphics into a ten-foot high cube--virtual reality has introduced what is literally a new dimension of reality to daily life.
