"Grau argues that VR isn't new - it dates back to 60 BC. The author doesn't overplay his hand and claim that medieval muralists were actually building proto-cyberspaces. He just stresses that artists have always used technology to transport us to other realities. To prove the point, he travels through time, highlighting works that created self-contained universes. Take a look."
