Cutting-Edge Virtual Reality

by Christy Peterson

Overview

Virtual reality sounds like the stuff of science fiction movies and immersive video games, but what if you could use it to become a better surgeon or a pilot? You can! Virtual reality is a realistic computer simulation that people can interact with, and it can put you in an operating room, a cockpit, or just about anywhere else. Learn about the latest developments in virtual reality technology, as well as how it's used in classrooms, living rooms, military bases, research facilities, and more.
