The Virtual Meets the Real, Part I: Virtual Environments and Games as Therapeutic Tools
Virtual environments such as those seen in games and virtual reality (VR) have been a topic of intense interest in the media and in education for the last several years. Since personal computers and gaming devices have become available, the attraction to these engaging and interactive challenges has been continuous, an interest that is reignited and attracts new devotees with the release of a new game, a faster computer, a new gaming device, or new features added to an online virtual world.
