1. A 3D virtual reality system, comprising:

  • a submersion tank comprising an enveloping medium to partially submerge a user and to provide buoyancy to the user;

    a waterproof head-mounted display system comprising at least one sensor for tracking the user'"'"'s head movements and at least one optical element that displays virtual reality images to the user;

    a plurality of waterproof hand sensors attached to the user to track the user'"'"'s hand movements;

    at least three electronic surface sensors positioned on the surface of and partially submerged in the enveloping medium contained in the submersion tank that define a submersible area and continuously track the head-mounted display and hand sensors as the head-mounted display and hand sensors transition to or from above the surface of the enveloping medium in an air environment and below the surface of the enveloping medium in a liquid medium based on their position relative to the position of the surface sensors;

    a computer/controller that both receives location and speed data from the head-mounted display and hand sensors worn by the user and transmits said location and speed data into the waterproof head-mounted display unit worn by the user;

    a computer-implemented virtual reality video input signal that is dynamically modified in accordance with movement of the user'"'"'s head-mounted display and/or hand sensors.
