Can anybody give me the information regarding the available literature(i.e. books,publications, conference proceedings etc.) thanks in advance ajay Ajay.Talla.1@uni.massey.ac.nz [ See a rough draft of my guide: ftp://ftp.hitl.washington.edu/pub/scivw/citations/VR-Man.txt T.E.] --------------------------------------- From: Martin_Mittendorfer@net-mac2.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at (Martin Mittendorfer) Subject: SPECS: VR I-glasses Date: Mon, 4 Sep 95 00:21:09 MET Organization: AMANDA Computer Club Linz Message-Id: <3011423.ensmtp@net-mac2.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at> I'm seriously thinking about buying IO-glasses but I don't know whether I should get the "normal" things or the developer kit. Do anybody know about the kit and what it contains (yes, I've read the www-page) and how useful/necessary the info is (spending 1500$ instead of 749$ rips a hole big enough to kill leisure time activities for about three months). I'd really like someone to tell me more about the glasses and their ease of use. ---Martin --------------------------------------- From: Martin_Mittendorfer@net-mac2.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at (Martin Mittendorfer) Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: INFO: 3D Design apps Date: Mon, 4 Sep 95 21:37:42 MET Organization: AMANDA Computer Club Linz Message-Id: <3015150.ensmtp@net-mac2.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at> I guess this is in a FAQ or something, anyway: which 3D design applications are available for free or for, say, up to 150$ and worth their money. I know that there are REND386 and VR-386 for free. How good are those? Thanx a lot, ---Martin --------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 7 Sep 1995 12:17:49 +0200 From: Bartlomiej Jarocki Subject: INFO: Books on graphics ? 3D-imaging devoted discussion lists ? Hello, I'm working on VR system core for PC (for my MSc) and look for books/publications presenting effective algorithms for TEXTURE MAPPING and/or COLLISION DETECTION. Please send me suggestions. Is there maybe any discussion list devoted to 3D-imaging (I tried sd3d@sdsc.edu but it seems to be down) regards, Bartek Jarocki --------------------------------------- From: Thomas Richter Subject: INFO: ExploreNet Date: 7 Sep 1995 18:33:19 GMT Organization: CIP-Pool der Philosophischen Fakultaet, Uni des Saarlandes Can somebody give me a hint what ExploreNet is?
