An experience designed for both the expert and those entering this rapidly growing and important field. All keynote speakers, presenters, and exhibitors are leaders in the field and of known international repute. The very latest developments and applications in VR and telepresence for: aerospace, military systems, robotics, education, medicine, information engineering, basic physical sciences, entertainment, nano-worlds, training and complex systems will be presented, discussed and experienced. Whilst the event is focused on applications and future developments, the raw technologies and human facing implications of VR will also be considered. Presenters are encouraged to introduce interactive and live demonstrations involving members of the audience. Large screen 2D and 3D projection facilities will be available with supporting sound systems and ISDN plus satellite telecommunications facilities. For overseas visitors, computing engines may be made available by prior agreement with supporting organisations and exhibitors at the event. The organising committee are open to all suggestions and proposals, especially if they involve a degree of novelty that will promote the understanding and appreciation of the topic, and invoke audience reaction and participation. It is anticipated that this prestige non-commercial event will attract a high level of press and media attention with an audience of leading academic and practitioners, plus influential technology and scientific opinion formers. The proceedings of the event will be published in both paper and CD ROM formats complete with demonstration programs as available.
