Amazing New Book Brings VR Power to the People by Making it Accessible and
Affordable

Exciting VR software is contained on bundled disk, including BIKE and 3DV

BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--Virtual reality is being highly touted on television
and in print, but the technology hasn't yet become widely accessible and
the cost of equipment is still prohibitive. Eager would-be cybernauts have
had to cool their heels waiting for the technology to mature until now. In
the one-of-a-kind new book, Step Into Virtual Reality, author John Iovine
delivers a breakthrough guide to creating and entering VR worlds today,
without spending a lot of money.

Readers will discover how to build and assemble their very own VR system
using just a PC and available software. Through a dozen simple projects,
Iovine tells readers to make their own equipment and interfaces,
including:

- LCD stereoscopic shutter glasses
- Tactile actuators
- Head-Mounted Display (HMD) unit
- Data glove
- Telepresence robot car explorer
- VR exercise bike

Readers can generate a Martian landscape and view it in 3-D with the
stereoscopic shutter glasses, or pedal an exercise bike in a VR
environment using the HMD and a PC. It's all possible with this
groundbreaking book.
