A Different Reality: Gemini Technology Corp. in Irvine has stopped doing work for Visions of Reality. But Gemini, a defense simulation software company, is still in the virtual reality business. Chris Morrow, vice president at Gemini, said his company began launching other virtual reality game projects after San Francisco-based Visions of Reality project stalled earlier this year. In virtual reality, players can immerse themselves in a three-dimensional computer-animated world.

The financial success of Visions of Reality Inc. depends on how well it can sell its version of reality. The 20-employee South San Francisco company, which has offices in Irvine, is trying to create the ultimate arcade-like game using three-dimensional computer graphics technology known as virtual reality. The test will come soon. Visions of Reality hopes its pod-like simulators, which are designed to look and feel like a real spacecraft, will be landing in Orange County by year's end.
