Virtual reality started out as a science fiction concept in the early 1950s. Now, VR has become a kind of holy grail – lots of promises and claims, few results delivered. This program looks at the state of virtual reality. Demonstrations include the Talking Glove, AutoDesk’s Cyberspace project, the Virtual Hand, GestureGlove, CyberGlove, CyberCAD, Virtus Corporation’s WalkThrough. Also a visit to the Virtual Reality Showcase at the Software Development Conference in Santa Clara, California. Originally broadcast in 1992.
