Get ready for the second meeting in our 2-part series on low-cost
virtual reality!

San Francisco VRG #5
Focus: "World-Building on the Desktop"
Wed., April 21
7:00 pm
at The Exploratorium's McBean Theater

This meeting features a "multi-tasking," hands-on environment with
brief presentations from several speakers followed by plenty of time
for everyone to play with the systems and engage in one-on-one
interaction. We've invited our speakers to bring a small inventory of
their wares (software, books, and more) to sell direct to VRG'ns.

Our special guests include master homebrewer Doug Flaxon (a REND386
kindaguy), John Kavanagh (vice president of Domark, which publishes
the Virtual Reality Studio software), Michael Starks (owner of 3DTV,
purveyors of "flicker" glasses, Powergloves, and a black box that adds
3D to standard video signals, and Mitchell Waite (Waite Group Press,
which published _Virtual Reality Playhouse_ in 1991 and will release a
book on REND386 this summer).

As usual, we request a $5 donation to cover our costs, and the meeting
will probably run until about 10 pm. We look forward to seeing you!

The Exploratorium is located by the Palace of Fine Arts at 3601 Lyon
Street and Marina Blvd. near Golden Gate Bridge; call 415-531-0360 for
