Abstract: The virtual environment terminal device comprises a user terminal device that interfaces the user to a computer controlled virtual reality system via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to the user to emulate the sensations that the user would encounter in the environment emulated by the virtual reality system while also providing a three-dimensional image of the workspace by using a view splitting device to display the screens of two different monitors to respective ones of the user's two eyes.
