Subject: EVENT: Report on IVE workshop - QMW 2nd July
Organization: Computer Science Dept, QMW, University of London, UK.


On July 2nd this year, we held an informal workshop on Immersive
Virtual Environments here at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London.
The day was a success with attendees from ten of the UK institutions
involved in virtual reality research.

The day was split up into several sessions the titles of which were:

``Psychology is the Physics of Virtual Reality.''  Implications of
virtual reality for computer graphics research Presence in Virtual
Environments.  Object description standards Metaphors for Interaction
The Sociology of Virtual Environments Future Actions for Fostering
Research in the UK


There is a report of the workshop available to anyone interested. It
has two main sections: a summary of main points made in each session,
and articles written by attendees about their own work and issues
raised on the day.
