As the immersive world of virtual and augmented realities continues to become more and more sophisticated and the cost of the technology starts to become something you might be able to afford at home, what used to be just science fiction is now science fact. Are there any fellow Caprica fans out there? You know what I mean!

If you’d like to get a taste of all that XR now has to offer, be sure to attend the Virtual Reality Expo at the Folsom Library this Saturday from 11:00-3:00pm. It’s free to attend and you can find more information here.
