The book offers basic knowledge about VR technology and focuses on the dimension of human-computer interaction. For example, she addresses the utility of VR software, how users actually interact with the tools, and what kinds of advantages can be expected when adopting this technology. 3 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:20:08 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/yoon/ipod/Yoon11-Yoon.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/yoon/ipod/Yoon11-Yoon.m4v While some virtual reality software is better than others, Yoon avoids devaluing others’ work. What really bothers her is development of VR tools for personal publicity and profit. “I don’t think that’s right,” remarks Yoon, who believes that educators and researchers should “work for everybody’s benefit and try to make a contribution to society,” rather than concentrate on their own self-interest. 3 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:22:22 GMT
