Kapurthala (Punjab), Sep 22 - Playing with butterflies, sand, molecular bubbles, shadows and magical flowers will now be child's play, literally, with a virtual reality gallery being opened at the Pushpa Gujral science city near here Tuesday.

The latest addition to the science city, located on the Jalandhar-Kapurthala highway, 170 km from Chandigarh, will also help children and other visitors learn how things like e-mails and automated teller machines (ATMs) work.

'The gallery is divided into three parts. The first part includes six exhibits which interact with our shadows and actions without touching or holding anything. The second part contains virtual stations and the third part deals with computers and cyber space.
