The Center for Audio-Visual Research presents: "Induction Program: A Primer". A prototype DVD constructed to allow users previously unfamiliar with CAVR material to assimilate quickly and enter into a simple dialog with the "program". Each user will discover their own "style of participation" and advance their familiarity with CAVR. Using a standard DVD interface users achieve exciting personal goals via several belief systems, within a non-theatening environment.
