Serap KurbanoğluIn this paper virtual reality technology and how libraries might be affected by this technology are examined. Virtual reality sets out to address a problem.

This is keyboard or mouse on the human side, and the screen on the computer side. If computers are really going to become a part of everyone’s normal day to day experiences, they, must allow users to visualise information in a way familiar to them, not the way the computers forces them to. Virtual reality provides such a way. With the increasing amounts of information available in electronic form, it is clear that virtual reality technology will have a profound impact on libraries.http://tk.org.tr/index.php/TK/article/view/1012 |
