This journal is an official publication of the Virtual Reality Society, and its aim is to disseminate research and provoke discussion in the area of Virtual Reality. The multidisciplinary nature of the field means that submission will be welcomed on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, the following: Virtual Reality technology and software systems Human factors Virtual Reality applications Assessment of Virtual Reality systems Philosophical and ethical issues Advances relevant to Virtual Reality Since readers may be unfamiliar with the technical detail of the specific topic being discussed, emphasis will be placed on clear, well-written, and accessible articles that will appeal to a multidisciplinary audience. To complement the academic papers, the journal will also accept shorter reports and communications; this will provide a forum for research that is at an early stage. Product reviews will also be considered, however, they should be of interest to those practically involved in Virtual Reality research and development.

11. Virtual Reality Polyhedra Introduction. Welcome to this collection of thousands of virtual reality polyhedra for you to explore. About virtual reality Models. http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/vp.html

Virtual Polyhedra The Encyclopedia of Polyhedra By George W. Hart Space is not a passive vacuum, but has properties that impose powerful constraints on any structure that inhabits it. -Arthur Loeb Introduction Welcome to this collection of thousands of virtual reality polyhedra for you to explore. I hope you enjoy playing with them as much as I enjoyed making them. There are hundreds here which have never been illustrated in any previous publication. Polyhedra have an enormous aesthetic appeal and the subject is fun and easy to learn on one's own. One can appreciate the beauty of this image without knowing exactly what its name means - the compound of the snub disicosidodecahedron and its dual hexagonal hexecontahedron - but the more you know about polyhedra, the more beauty you will see. This site is a free self-contained easy-to-explore tutorial, reference work, and object library for people interested in polyhedra. You may choose to simply view the virtual objects for their timeless, serene aesthetics, or to read the related mathematical background material at various levels of depth. Of course, as an academic type, I feel obliged to include a few exercises. And as it says in the textbooks, you'll learn a lot more if you work on the exercises yourself before looking at the solutions. I believe the best way to learn about polyhedra is to make your own paper models or other models . The second best is to play with a set someone else has made. You can do that here because you can look at, move, and spin these models which I have made for you. And in one respect, virtual models have an advantage: you can travel inside them to gain a perspective not possible in paper models. After exploring my virtual models, I hope you choose to make some of your own paper models.

Thursday June 03, 2004 VREfresh thanks its Sponsors: Flexible Display Technology Representatives for display technology companies, government officials and academia converged at Arizona State University's Research Park last week to kick off an initiative focused on flexible display technology research, development and prototype manufacturing. This university-industry-government collaboration is chartered with accelerating the development of flexible display technology, as well as promoting the growth of the USA-based flexible display industry. This collaboration is being realized through the Flexible Display Center Gaming in 3D on Mobiles Samsung Electronics Co has announced an addition to its Mobile DRAM portfolio, a monolithic 256Mbit, 32-bit wide Double Data Rate (DDR) device that offers the bandwidth needed for photo-realistic 3D gaming in handsets. Samples are available today with mass production scheduled in the second half of 2004. The device is part of Samsung's product family of Mobile Synchronous DRAM solutions that are available as Single Data Rate (SDR) or Double Data Rate (DDR) devices, all of which meet the power and form factor requirements demanded by battery-powered handsets. Said Ivan Greenberg, Director of Strategic Marketing at Samsung Semiconductor, "3D gaming on handsets is expected to become commonplace by 2006." May 28, 2004

Virtual Reality Moon Phase Pictures These "Virtual Reality Moon Phases" were created by R. Schmidt from ray-traced images of the Moon. A Clementine spacecraft mosaic of the lunar surface was mapped onto a sphere, and scenes were rendered as a virtual Sun "orbited" the Moon. The depiction of lunar surface features suffers geometric distortion but the terminator is correct with respect to the spherical Moon.

19. Index.BAK A radical scientific and evolutionary hypothesis about the origin of mind. By Jerome Iglowitz. http://www.foothill.net/~jerryi/

I propose that mind is the biological coordinator of primitive, profoundly complex, and blind metacellular process. -pure and simple! How could this be? The problem of the relationship between the mind and the brain is generally considered to be either: *trivial, (obvious) *unsolvable, or ridiculous even to consider -depending on the commentator. I do not think this is so. The mind exists, the brain exists, but the mind can never be more than the brain. Therefore "the mind is [exactly equals]the brain" -so say Patricia and Paul Churchland. Consciousness "emerges" from a physical substrate, (though they never say how that could possibly be). The mind plays tricks however: it invents phenomena. The "color phi" and a "Cartesian theater", (i.e. mental events), are scientifically and even logically impossible says Daniel Dennett. The "mind", (in our normal meaning), he concludes therefore, must be eliminated . It is a "figment" of the imagination -i.e. it is an illusion. And then there are those who say the problem is innately unsolvable -it is beyond human capacity Yet I am, (you are), here in the world, and the world is here! These are the
