- CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS
-
- The category CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS includes as many
- of the VR related events, conferences, workshops, seminars,
- user groups, organizations, and activities that we could find.
-
- This category could easily be the most highly populated category
- in this directory because of the astronomical growth of VR in
- media and public interest. Almost every day, there arrives at our
- door a new brochure on a new conference featuring VR, often
- with virtually unrealistic registration costs! We often wonder if
- we shut down all of these events, sent all the scientists and
- speakers back to work and redirected the money spent on the
- events back into R&D what would happen? We probably would
- have a super-realistic total immersion multiparticipatory
- telenetworked virtual reality system by now that would blow you
- away! Well anyway, the shows must go on and we must go to
- the shows.
-
- This category contains many of the main VR conferences and
- events. If you want to learn more about VR and to network with
- the people who are doing VR, you will have to make the time to
- attend several of these events. It has been an excellent way for
- us to widen our understanding of the potential directions that the
- VR field is taking and to discover new talent with significant
- events is to separate the real from the fluff, the solid from the
- vapor and the people from the virtual characters.
-
- As we accumulate valuable information, product descriptions,
- photos, demo tapes, slides and beta products for evaluation, we
- learn more about where this business is going. After all, it is
- business that makes the VR field evolve.
-
- If you or your organization are in the business of hosting an event
- in VR related science, theory, applications or business
- opportunities, you should contact us and send along material so
- your venue can be listed in our next revision of The Virtual
- Reality Sourcebook.
