An improved system, both method and apparatus for creating an enhanced virtual reality environment providing an integrated, universal, communication, monitoring and/or control experience, even for those compromised users typically denied such experience, the system providing newly emergent properties not present in the individual modules comprising the system, but for the synergy with each other created through the vehicle of the user's mind, the system having a display subsystem including video and/or audio capability, an r.f. and/or i.f. wireless link communication subsystem, including a set-top unit subsystem either integral or non-integral with the display subsystem, and either internal or external to the display subsystem, for communicating and coordinating a plurality of diverse functions with both a user and the display subsystem, and further includes a handset control unit for interactive, bi-directional communication by the user with the set-top subsystem, the control unit having at least simplified controls including a pair of visually and/or physically conspicuous adjacent input areas, e.g. NEXT and GO, providing a simplified total control interface for all system functions and adapted for easy, uncomplicated operation by users, including a relatively unskilled, handicapped or other compromised user who might otherwise have difficulty accessing and utilizing such system functions.
