Everything you see and hear is coming to you through a computer-operated display that you¡¯re wearing on your head like a pair of very big glasses. Wearing this kind of virtual-reality equipment, you can find yourself sitting in a classroom, touring a famous museum, wandering across a strange landscape, flying into space, or playing with a cartoon character. 2. Virtual-reality equipment that delivers images and sounds directly to your eyes and ears makes these fake worlds seem lifelike.

Some companies are now building three-dimensional£¨Èýά£©fantasy worlds in which players, linked by computer networks, appear to meet and go on explorations together.
