The movie WAS really cool and slick for that time period. Although, the downside - it gave people these High expectations of VR. While, in reality - back then - we weren't even CLOSE to that type of VR! Even today - we can't really do it that well - but, I think we are now getting closer.
What was interesting about VR - is that there were technologies built for VR - but, later applied to other areas and technologies. Something like the Wii controller - its probably based upon VR developments. -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions, LLC Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 4:38 PM Kurt Wendt wrote: > Actually - some VR has evolved a lot since back then.
