We know from the Roll Call that there are literally dozens of laboratories around the world working in one aspect or another of virtual worlds. Yet, only a few -- UNC, Oxford, HIT Lab, Stanford, Alberta, and a couple others -- have been willing to share their work with the rest of us. I can understand if you're with a private firm and you think you need to preserve security. But it seems like a lot of this is just inertia. C'mon: if you're not caught up in the heat of violent competition, take the time to tell us what you're up to. That's what this newsgroup was founded for, to build our common repository of knowledge. Thanks for participating. Bob Jacobson Moderator
