From: tbrent@bank.ecn.purdue.edu (Timothy J Brent) Subject: APPS: Impact of VR on architecture? Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1993 19:14:48 GMT Message-ID: Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Crossposted from alt. architecture [MODERATOR'S NOTE: My apologies to the surveyers...I earlier identified a more primitive survey, taken from alt.cyberspace, as one from alt.architecture I think the participants of s.v-w will find this one more entertaining. -- Bob Jacobson] Virtual Reality is a technology which is moving from its developmental stages to practical applications. Our technical writing class is exploring the possible implications that VR will have on various aspects of technical communication. The purpose of this SHORT survey is to gain insight into the interaction between VR and the field of architecture by consulting the professional architectural community. We appreciate your time and input. Please send completed surveys to: tbrent@bank.ecn.purdue.edu TIMOTHY J. BRENT 1) Please describe your particular job/responsibilities. 2) What do you feel is the primary medium for the formal communication of technical ideas in the field of architecture. Explain. 3) How do you see VR augmenting this medium? negatively not at all positively 1 2 3 4 5 4) Do you see VR replacing this medium? To what degree? not at all somewhat completely 1 2 3 4 5 Comments: _______________________________________ Name: ________________________ |THIS INFORMATION IS VOLUNTARY AND WILL| Position(Title):______________ |BE USED CONFIDENTIALLY FOR STATISTICAL| Degree(Major): ______________ |PURPOSES.
