PRESENCE: "Pacific Rim VR and Telepresence" Call for Participation

PRESENCE is devoting an issue, Volume 2, Number 4, to "Pacific Rim 
Virtual Reality and Telepresence". Co-editors of this special issue
are Michael Zyda of the Naval Postgraduate School and Randy Pausch
of the University of Virginia. The goal of this issue is to find what 
virtual reality/telepresence research is being carried out in the Pacific 
Rim (Japan, Korea, Singapore, China, Australia, ...). We have the complete 
issue to fill, which means we are interested in traditional research papers, 
lab reviews, and what's happening submissions. PRESENCE is the premier 
journal of teleoperation and virtual environments.

For the research paper and lab reviews sections, we are interested in hearing 
about what Pacific Rim research groups are doing with their high-performance, 
real-time, interactive graphics systems for VR, in discussing which are the 
most effective paradigms for interaction with VR and telepresence systems, 
in learning what software you are developing or hope to develop for your 
VR/telepresence efforts, and in learning about the applications to which 
VR/telepresence technology is being applied. We are interested in not 
only software VR efforts but also in any VR/telepresence-related hardware, 
theoretical and experimental studies you are working on in your lab. 
We want to hear about your work with respect to all channels: visual, 
auditory, or haptic. 

For the what's happening section, we are interested in conference
announcements, VR entertainment sites, and other VR/telepresence
events.

Manuscripts should be in 12 point type, using double spaced pages for all 
text, including references. 

Manuscripts are accepted for consideration with the understanding that they
represent original material and are not being considered for publication
elsewhere. 

Send 7 copies of your manuscripts for this special Pacific Rim issue to:
