Abstract
Any technology for virtual reality limits what can be presented to the user. Games are designed within such limits, but medicine has categor ical requirements, more easily met in ''reach-in'' than in ''immersive '' VR. We discuss the effects of the needs of medicine on interface an d graphics technology, and the achievement of precise, dextrous contro l for investigation and editing of 3-D medical data.
