  • To transform a room into an infinite space is the promise of a new virtual reality (VR) system. It works by tracking the body and head movements of a person wearing a VR headset and guides them through endless sets of virtual spaces as they pace around within a real physical space. Hannes Kaufmann of the Vienna University of Technology in Austria, who worked on the system, says the illusion created by the VR system is strong enough that people trying it do not realize that they are effectively walking around in circles.
