Nothing Virtual about Digital Illusion

Clark Dodsworth has made an enormous contribution to this subject by combining chapters from all the big thinkers in this industry.Some chapters did not appeal, others enthralled me and as I hilited gems along the way through this book I realised that my own concepts of perception and communication were evolving. It was nice to find support and to be challenged as well in the many contributions of this book.Dodsworth insight and experience helps to stitch all of the contributions and any loose ends together.Digital Illusions provides many benefits to any reader who has an interest in this industry. I found the investment of my time worthwhile.

Invaluable resource for interactive entertainment

This book is incredibly dense and content-rich. It features "from the horse's mouth" articles from some of the top minds in interactive entertainment. Two years after its publication, it's still cutting edge. It provides excellent groundwork for software designers, virtual reality designers or anyone working in the theme park industry. I teach interacive design at the University level throughout the world and I always recommend this book as a "must read" for my students.
