TIME: Wednesday, December 12, 1990, 4:00pm PLACE: Thomson 101, University of Washington (Seattle) ABSTRACT: Virtual interface technology provides a new approach for coupling computer-generated information to the human senses. Since these devices can produce a circumambience of visual and auditory information, it is possible to create virtual worlds which are "inhabited" by the participant and "experienced" intuitively using the natural three-dimensional architecture of the human body. These factors empower the virtual interface with an unprecedented efficiency in communicating computer-generated graphical information, making it ideal for visualization of complex data spaces.
