Colonizing Virtual Reality Construction of the Discourse of Virtual Reality, 1984-1992 Chris Chesher Introduction New technologies do not appear from nowhere as a mystical spark of inspiration from the mind of one individual. Nor are they inevitably accepted for their self-evident benefits. A technology emerges through a process involving broader cultural, linguistic, institutional and technological contexts. One clear illustration of this process can be drawn with the appearance of "virtual reality" in 1989, and the subsequent popularization of the idea through the media. On June 7, 1989 the computer-aided design software company Autodesk and the eclectic computer company VPL announced a new technology called "virtual reality." In marketing this new technology (which represented a major shift in thinking about the nature of computers), the developers and promoters drew on a range of tropes: VR is shared and objectively present like the physical world, composable like a work of art, and as unlimited and harmless as a dream. When VR becomes widely available, around the turn of the century, it will not be seen as a medium used within physical reality, but rather as an additional reality. VR opens up a new continent of ideas and possibilities. At Texpo 89 we set foot on the shore of this continent for the first time. VPL Research at Texpo 89, in

Don Bain's Virtual Reality Panoramas See more " unwrapped " panoramas QuickTime VR is a revolutionary technology pioneered by Apple Computer that allows you to interact with an image - you can look up, down, right, left, even around behind, and zoom in and out. It is the next best thing to being there. Needless to say, this is a technology with immense implications for teaching and learning about geography and environment. These images were all created from photographs of actual places. Requires QuickTime . This free software from Apple Computer, available for Macintosh or Windows, is necessary to view the panoramas. Download it before viewing. The panoramas on this site are a selection drawn from the much larger collection on Don Bain's Virtual Guidebooks website. Virtual Guidebooks contains over 3000 virtual reality panoramas spanning western North America from Hawaii to Wyoming, from the Arctic Ocean to Baja California. It is extensively cross-referenced and searchable. The panoramas on Virtual Guidebooks are larger and more detailed than the ones here. dbain@virtualguidebooks.com

Project Comm Schema Java ... Non-Player Character The e x tensible V irtual R eality M odelling L anguage [ Home ] What is this Site? This site provides access to the development of the xVRML specifications and related software technologies. The VRML specifications were created to put 3D worlds onto the Internet, and used an idiosyncratic notational system. The xVRML Project is focused on evolving this into a more modern approach based on using an XML -based notation and an XML Schema -based definition. The xVRML Specifications are based on the xVRML Schema world xVRML xVRML instance documents. How Can You Participate? The xVRML Project uses SourceForge to distribute files. Download them and take a look. If you are a student at RIT and would like more information on how you could help with this Project, visit the Project recruitment page You can follow the current thought-processes of those actively involved in this Project by periodically visiting and reading the xVRML Project weblog and the Forums on SourceForge . You can download the current distribution from SourceForge . You are encouraged to post comments in the Forums and in the project blog. Note to RIT Students: work in any of these areas might also form the basis for a thesis or dissertation.

A Web-Based Introduction Jerry Isdale, email: isdale AT acm.org I'm sorry but some of the links embedded in the html versions do not display or work correctly. This is due to the converter RTFtoHTML I used to convert the original MS Word document into HTML. If anyone has a better solution please tell me about it! For a Frames based version of this document For a Non-Frames based version For the RTF format document (zipped) For the MS Word format (zipped) For a selection of links to other sites and VR Technologies see: VR Links I used to write the Technology Review column for VR News magazine. Someday the information from those reviews will make its way into this document or a successor. For now, do check the resource links from my column. NOTE: I have given several tutorials at ACM and IEEE conferences. The latest was at IEEE VR 2003. Turns out to be the 10th anniversary of my first release of WhatIsVR... so here is the PDF of the slides from that course...
