- I was at the bookstore the other day, and ran across a 1/4" thick paperback
- that I honestly knew nothing about. Here's the info on the book.
-
- Title: _VR Playhouse_
- Author: Nicholas Lavroff
- Publ.: The Waite Group
-
- Includes an IBM 3.5" floppy and a pair of those obscene red/blue 3D glasses.
-
- ISBN: 1-878739-19-0
- Cost: $22.95
-
-
- Flipping through the book, basically what I got out of it was a paraphrasing of
- articles and other books I had read. Like, no new material. (i.e.; the same VPL
- and Sense8 screen shots, same basic products were mentioned (VPL's DataGlove,
- etc.))
-
- What intrigued me was the PC disk. What's on it? Has anyone bought the book
- and can comment on the contents of the floppy? Anything exciting?
-
- Thanks for the help, gang. :)
- Cheers!
- -Neil
