Hello. My name is Marc de Groot. I am working at VPL Research. I have a simple question for the net: What do people want to do in virtual reality? What is your wish list? -- Marc de Groot (KG6KF) |"...few people know what to do with a computer. Noe Systems, San Francisco | They decide that running an operating system UUCP: uunet!hoptoad!noe!marc | is a substitute for doing productive work." Internet: marc@kg6kf.AMPR.ORG | -Chuck Moore

I vote for:
1) Synaesthesia ("that sounds purple") in a controllable, tunable,
selectable implementation;
2) Capability to experience information flow and patterns in a
user-selectable direct sensory input modality ("feel with your
fingertips the texture on Unix; now reach over here and feel
the differing texture of Mac-OS");
3) Ability to overlay both of the above on regular old-fashioned
sensory input.
