Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

What is virtual reality? -- Creating virtual worlds -- Putting virtual reality to work -- A bright virtual future.

Booklist Review

The future is now! The Searchlight Books: Cutting-Edge STEM series (6 titles) makes that clear with books that focus on the latest technology. Cutting-Edge Virtual Reality takes readers past the boundaries of their senses and explains quite well, using the idea of being inside a ball the different ways to enjoy and educate oneself through this experience. The color photographs in this series are particularly well chosen, adding and expanding the texts and giving kids a sense of the possibilities that these technologies offer. All of the books give a nod to the history of each technology, which allows readers to see how these fields are expanding. An exciting series for technology collections.--Ilene Cooper Copyright 2019 Booklist
