This is why you should be very skeptical about virtual reality reportage and hype

Update: the Chicago Tribune fixed this article (online) with the following:

"Back when I was in graduate school at Illinois, we did CAVE simulations," LaValle said, referring to virtual reality theaters invented in 1992. The name refers to Cave Automatic Virtual Environment."

And they changed the headline from cave to CAVE.

@Andrew_Oleksiuk @ChicagoBlueSky Thanks, fix coming ASAP.
