I am in the process of applying for a Fellowship that will enable me to
spend the summer of 1990 studying Virtual Reality systems. My primary focus
is Educational Applications for Virtual Reality. If anyone out there in "Net
Land" can direct me to:
o Articles written on V.R.
o Companies involved with V.R.
o Individuals working on/with V.R.
o Other groups (e.g. NASA, U. of Washington) working/involved w/ V.R.
o any other information or comments (even remotely related) to V.R.
I would *really* appreciate hearing from you!!
Also, I have gathered some information already, and if anybody is interested
in this subject I can send you what I have.
Thanks in advance, Happy New Year, and I hope I hear from evryone :-) !!!

You should be aware of the intelligent artificiality group in Melbourne Australia. This group is investigating methods and cost-benefits of making people more `machine-like'. Examples of real world applications of IA are Esperanto (a structure language without `natural language' irregularities), and the simplification of many man-machine interfaces. We are presently trying to design a Gnurit Test which will hopefully allow a computer system to automatically determine whether it is communicating with another `computer-literate' system, and the relative degree of computer capability manifested by the unknown. IA is clearly a cost-beneficial way to go, as humans are currently more adaptable than computer systems. As a result of your posting, we are thinking of diversifying our research into real virtuality .... Regards, John Marquet Computer Power Group

dear all, does any one have a bibliography on virtual reality. I just need something to get me started. Many thanks, **Zahid. P.S. applogies in advance if I'm wasting band-width by posting to a wrong group.
