1.0 Introduction
Rubber Room is a virtual reality environment where cubes endlessly bounce
off the walls and each other in 3D space. You as the observer are allowed
to move around in the room and control other aspects of the environment
such as the speed of the cubes, the layout of the room the starting and
stopping the cubes. The tool used to create this environment was
DOMark's Virtual Reality Studio ( A $70 software package available at
Egghead Software and Electronic Boutique and most likly other places as
well). This is not meant to be a game, just a toy.
