Customer Reviews & Comments
While this book is short (practically a dollar a page!!), it still would have benefitted from editing -- more accurately some proof-reading. The author is actually an editor who has compiled interviews and various point-of-view reactions to different VR scenarios and situations. The contributor SH, in particular, writes poorly with sentence fragments, incorrect grammar and odd usage (i.e. "in the other hand" instead of "ON the other hand"). While SH is perhaps a non-native English speaker, this is still unacceptable in a text format and was highly distracting and irritating. I was required to purchase this for a graduate level course and this is certainly not graduate level caliber writing. For the price, especially, this felt like a rip-off. PROOF READ!!! Other than that, this text is OK. It is not a taxing read and offers interesting insight into VR situations and implementation.
