- Subject: Syracuse University "reaching out"
- Date: Sat, 13 Jul 1991 16:07:52 GMT
- Organization: Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY
-
-
- Syracuse University is "reaching out" to other institutions involved with
- virtual reality research on a multi-city pre-SIG/GRAPH tour.
-
- Mike Nilan, professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse
- University, will be visiting MIT's Media Lab (July 24-26), the U. of North
- Carolina at Chapel Hill (July 27-28) and the Human Interface Technology
- Laboratory at Seattle (August 2-8).
-
- In conjunction with the emergence of Virtual Reality at Syracuse University,
- we are interested in facilitating the coordination of academic, private, and
- government institutions working in this area.
-
- We are currently talking with Rome Labs, the IBM Multimedia group,
- Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Hewlett Packard, Apple, DEC, and
- NCSA to develop possibilities for collaborative work in VR. We have
- already developed relationships with Cornell University, Rochester Institute
- of Technology, Rensseler Institute of Technology, Abrams/Gentile
- Entertainment (AGE), SUNY Buffalo, and SUNY ESF.
-
- We are particularly interested in application and usability issues for VR, as
- opposed to a technology-based approach. By combining a focus on users
- with existing foci on technology, we aim for more effective use of VR
- technology for the future.
-
- Mike Nilan and Greg Newby will be at the ACM SIG/GRAPH meeting in
- Las Vegas at the end of July. We are very interested in speaking with
- researchers, industry and government representatives, students, and others
- working in Virtual Reality.
-
- We can be reached at (315) 443-2911, or at:
- School of Information Studies
- 4-206 Center for Science and Technology
- Syracuse University
