PRESENCE: "Pacific Rim VR and Telepresence" Call for Participation

PRESENCE is devoting an issue, Volume 2, Number 4, to "Pacific Rim
Virtual Reality and Telepresence". Co-editors of this special issue
are Michael Zyda of the Naval Postgraduate School and Randy Pausch of
the University of Virginia. The goal of this issue is to find what
virtual reality/telepresence research is being carried out in the
Pacific Rim (Japan, Korea, Singapore, China, Australia, ...). We have
the complete issue to fill, which means we are interested in
traditional research papers, lab reviews, and what's happening
submissions. PRESENCE is the premier journal of teleoperation and
virtual environments.

For the research paper and lab reviews sections, we are interested in
hearing about what Pacific Rim research groups are doing with their
high-performance, real-time, interactive graphics systems for VR, in
discussing which are the most effective paradigms for interaction with
VR and telepresence systems, in learning what software you are
developing or hope to develop for your VR/telepresence efforts, and in
learning about the applications to which VR/telepresence technology is
being applied. We are interested in not only software VR efforts but
also in any VR/telepresence-related hardware, theoretical and
experimental studies you are working on in your lab.  We want to hear
about your work with respect to all channels: visual, auditory, or
haptic.

For the what's happening section, we are interested in conference
announcements, VR entertainment sites, and other VR/telepresence
events.

Manuscripts should be in 12 point type, using double spaced pages for
all text, including references.

Manuscripts are accepted for consideration with the understanding that
they represent original material and are not being considered for
publication elsewhere.
