-
- Greetings, friends.
-
- I am the author of a chapter called "Virtual Reality" for the
- 1993 edition of THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF INFORMATION SCIENCE AND
- TECHNOLOGY (vol. 28, published by Learned Information).
-
- I would like to request pre-prints, re-prints, technical
- reports, or lab summaries from all persons or groups working in
- the field of virtual reality.
-
- Because of the emerging nature of the field, and the relative
- shortage of materials on virtual reality in the "scholarly"
- literatures, I am seeking to insure that people who are
- still working on articles for journals (especially), or
- waiting for articles to appear, are represented in the chapter.
-
- The only thing I do not need more of are 1-3 page summaries
- of existing products or technology, or longer pieces written
- for the popular literature (e.g., The Wall Street Journal
- or Popular Electronics). I have done an exhaustive search
- on electronic databases, read all the published books & most
- conference proceedings, and (of course!) monitored this
- newsgroup.
-
- So, if you are doing work in the area of virtual reality, or a
- related area (computer graphics, telerobotics, management
- telepresence systems, hardware development...), and you have
- something I might have missed, please let me know about it.
-
- Reprints may be sent to my snail-net address below. Electronic
- copies, in any version, may be sent to me via email. Please
- let me know if the work has been submitted or accepted for
- publication, and of any other methods of distribution which you
- find acceptable.
-
- I am very happy to include mention of work in progress, or of
- research being done which might NOT result in publishable
- outcomes. I would like to receive materials fairly soon,
- no later than February 10.
-
- Thanks for your help! If you know of someone who I really
- should be contacting, too, let me know.
