Subject: JOB-WANTED   : Getting started (Virtual Reality)
Organization: Queen's University at Kingston

I am looking at pursuing a career in Virtual Reality systems 
engineering (from a hardware perspective), and would be interested 
in hearing from people in the field with regards to both the 
commercial aspects and the amateur experimentation.

Just to give some background of myself, I am a second year 
engineering student specializing in Control and Communications 
Systems here at Queen's University.  I had the good fortune to 
discover virtual reality by operating a Virtuality gaming system 
for two weeks during the summer, and I was hooked.

This information is not just for my own personal use, as I have 
friends elsewhere without access to Internet, to whom I would be 
forwarding any replies and relevant materials found.

Any suggestions on how I might get myself going with experimentation 
on my own time, i.e. Internet sources for text and programs for 
construction and programming devices such as a converted Power Glove,
aer the sort of thing I'm looking for.  Also educational institutions 
and companies that do research into VR.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated; Tnx in advance.

What is available out there in the way of summer employment for 
someone like myself wishing to gain some practical experience with 
VR systems?  Work in Canada would be preferable, however I have 
British citizenship too, and because I was born and raised in Canada,
and am a Canadian citizen, the US is not out of the question either.
