Chapter 1 WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY Your hands grip the steering wheel Cars on your left and right rev their engines The light turns green and you smash your foot into the gas pedal The car leaps ahead You screech around the first corner tires smoking Suddenly you hear a voice in your ear say Hey it's my turn Your time is up Some video games include equipment such as pedals and steering wheels so they seem more like real life
This boy uses a headset and controller to play a virtual reality game You sigh You were just about to take the lead But you pull off the headset and hand the controls to your sister Soon she is experiencing the car the track and the revving engines of a virtual reality racing game You are stuck in your living room
