-
- The VIRTUAL SPACE INTEREST GROUP of STANFORD is a student run
- organization to promote education, research, and development
- with respect to virtual space technologies. We generally
- define "virtual space" to be data structures that are not
- limited to, but include, linear geometric dimensions. With
- such data structures, we can model real world and imaginary
- objects for design, analysis, or entertainment. Of substantial
- interest to us are developments enabling the projection of
- ourselves into such a data space for interaction with the
- virtual objects or each other. Virtual space is a MEDIUM for
- expression and communication.
-
- Our goals are to bring together Bay Area and Stanford
- Community efforts to develop this medium, to promote the
- exchange of ideas and encourage education, research, and
- development in the Stanford Community.
-
- The VSIGroup was fortunate to be invited by the Design Theory
- & Methodology forum (DT&M) to sponsor a speaker series, entitled
- "Virtual Space Applications in Design", during Fall quarter 1990.
- For 1991, VSIGroup plans to hold monthly evening forums with
- one or two invited speakers, technology demonstrations, and most
- importantly an informal social for interaction. The VSIGroup
- hopes to raise funds to present impressive projects and speakers
- to the Stanford Community.
-
- Do to the overwhelming requests for VSIGroup information from around
- the world (four countries are currently represented), we need to
- stress that membership is for active and potential active partici-
- pants in a related field. To this end, we request that anyone wishing
- to remain on the mailing list in 1991, submit the following informa-
- tion for our records, if we do not have it already:
-
- NAME:
- ELECTRONIC ADDRESS: (email, we prefer Internet, if its an option)
- PHYSICAL ADDRESS:
- VOCAL ADDRESS: (work phone)
- AFFILIATION: (include year in school if student, dept., lab, etc.)
- INTEREST: (note your current work if related)
- PRESENTATION: (if you or your lab would address VSIG in 1991)
- WORST DAY/EVE: (worst day(s) of the month to attend evening VSIG forums)
- RELEASE: (will you release this information, if VSIG is solicited)
-
- return to: vsig-request@sunrise.stanford.edu
-
- Unless you OK the release, this information is for VSIG purposes
- ONLY. We presently have requests for our membership list from
- groups like the Virtual Reality Report and Virtual Reality Film
- Documentary. We understand that many labs have been inundated with
- phone and email solicitations to the point that they can't get work
- done or find useful communication. If such labs have a general
- address for these solicitations, please forward the address and we
- will protect your personal information.
