Hello. I've read a lot of superficial overviews of what virtual
reality will be, but nothing in depth. Could someone please tell me:
1) Are they any books on VR which are must-reads? (I dont' mean
sci-fi books, actual scientific studies or predictions.)
2) Are there any journals yet devoted to VR?
3) What companies/universities/research institutes are doing
work on VR?
4) What software or hardware is standard or much-used in virtual
reality stereoscopic man-machine interfaces, or any other
VR application? (This may be a bad question - if I knew
more I'd try to be more specific.)
5) Are there any conferences for the VR industry ?
These may be basic questions, but I need to start
somewhere.
