Auschwitz was a concentration camp located in what is now southern Poland. Views of the camp include: the entrance with the famous Arbeit Macht Frei gate, the roll call area, the death block, a view from inside the gate, and a view near the gas chamber. (5 movies) Birkenau. Birkenau, though much larger, was a sub-camp of Auschwitz. Views include: an overview of the camp from the watchtower, various roads throughout the camp, the children's barracks, a barracks interior, and several views of crematorium/gas chamber ruins. (12 movies) Majdanek. Majdanek camp and killing center opened near Lublin in eastern Poland in late 1941. At first a labor camp for Poles and a POW camp for Russians, it was classified as a concentration camp in April 1943. Like Auschwitz, it was also a major killing center. (4 movies) Mauthausen.

Ahead Of The Pack: Ivan E. Sutherland Ivan and his student, Bob Sproull, took the Remote Reality vision systems of the Bell Helicopter project, and turned it into virtual reality by replacing http://www.sun.com/960710/feature3/alice.html
Extractions: circa 1967 Early experiments with head-mounted displays centered on input from servo-controlled cameras which would move with the user's head, and thus move the user's field of view. In one early project at Bell Helicopter Company, the head-mounted display was coupled with an infrared camera that would give military helicopter pilots the ability to land at night in rough terrain. An infrared camera, which moved as the pilot's head moved, was mounted on the bottom of a helicopter. The pilot's field of view was that of the camera. The helicopter experiments demonstrated that a human could become totally immersed in a remote environment through the "eyes" of a camera. With the viewer inside a building, a camera was mounted on the roof, with its field of view focused on two people playing catch. The viewer immediately responded to the motion of the ball, moving the camera to follow the game of catch by moving his head. Proof of the viewer's involvement in this remote environment came when the ball was thrown at the camera, and the viewer ducked! When the camera panned the horizon, the viewer reported a panoramic skyline. When the camera looked down to reveal that it was "standing" on a plank extended off the roof of the building, the viewer panicked!
The History Of Computers During My Lifetime Select events from a timeline spanning the 1970's to the 1990's. Subjects include the Commodore PET, the Amiga, RISC architectures and virtual reality. http://www.pattosoft.com.au/jason/Articles/HistoryOfComputers/
Extractions: jason@pattosoft.com.au In this document I take a quick look at the great moments in the history of computers during my lifetime. Over time it should hopefully build up to become a fascinating look back into history. In fact it is already quite interesting, even though I'm still a youngster! PS: If you think I've missed something, or you find a mistake, please email me... PPS: All the prices are in US dollars. From the world's first general purpose microprocessor to the Apple II, Commodore PET and TRS-80. UNIX, the C programming language, the VAX and the Cray 1 at the high end.

With every client we weld our core competencies together to produce the best solutions An Industry leading world beating Virtual Reality Solution brought to you in the UK, through collaboration and design from Sense8 and Silicon Graphics. Virtual Reality (VR) or Visual simulation brings to life static 3-dimensional objects in a synthetic environment that encompasses intelligence and behaviours in a real-time environment. Virtual environments can take a variety of forms from immersive (users are totally immersed into the world through use of head mounted displays (hmd) through desktop (industry standard systems running Windows, Linux and Unix Operating systems) to Projected VR making use of real-time 3D graphics to build cave environments for large scale collaborative design and experience's. This experience can be further enhanced through the incorporation of peripheral devices that enhance the other senses such as Sound (3D audio systems), Touch (haptic response), Grasp ( pinch gloves), position (motion trackers and positional sensors) and Navigation (joysticks and motion tracking devices), Interpretation (3D projection and imaging) Visualisation (immersive headmount display). Industry standards for data exchange allow for Visual Simulation to be a progressive development of existing technology infrastructure. ODBC compliance, DXF and VRML are all standards that provide access to data sources created over a period of time.
