VIRTU-L


Hi-

     I am a high school student working on a report about Virtual Reality,
and I have been unable to get an interview with anyone involved in VR in a
company  or elsewhere.  I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could take
the time to send me answers to any or all of the questions below, as well as
any other interesting facts.  Also, it would be greatly appreciated if you
could give me hints on some other places to search for info or to post these
questions for a response.  Please include your name so I can include you in
my references.

Thanks in advance--

Questions:
----------
1) What are some of the major uses of VR technology today, both public
   and private, and where does most of the funding come from?

2) What are some of the possible future uses of VR?

3) What is the quality like now?
    (I wanted to go see the Virtuality game at UC Berkley, but they sold it
    three or four weeks ago!  :-(  Are there any other VR "experiences" in the
    Bay Area?)

4) Where is the technology headed?  How fast?

5) When will VR reach the general public?  For what uses?

6) How big of a part do hobbyists play in the development of VR
   technology today?

6) Any other interesting tidbits...(I am just getting into this area, and
   I want to know about it, not just for my report.  Where is the best
   place to look for info?)
