It takes our lives into the technology. One enters this artificial world by putting on special clothing wired to a computer. Gloves and suits with sensors and transmitters send and receive data. The glove resembles Mattel's power glove for its Nintendo games. Goggles include two tiny video screens.
Headsets provide three-dimensional stereo sound.
Helmets could include both audio and video output. The computer generates sounds and images either of the real world or of an imaginary one that appear to the viewer in three dimensions. The equipment required to create these effects will initially extend beyond the means of the average consumer. One will have to go to certain places, like theaters or arcades, to enjoy these experiences. A user can sit in the cockpit of an airplane or swing a club on a golf course.
