Message-ID: <4br8ah$jlp@post.tau.ac.il> I am looking for references to ACADEMIC work on the application of AI or knowledge-based techniques, or of AI approach, to the area of virtual environments. I see a lot of stuff in commercials and on the web, but I'm looking for the research papers. As a PhD student in CS i am interested mostly in technical papers, but also in Cognitive Science research. Is there a reasonable academic journal discussing these issues? thx. --------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 27 Dec 1995 16:49:25 +0200 Reply-To: Leah Bokar From: Leah Bokar Subject: INFO: The "virtual museum" definition I would like to ask for a best definition of "virtual museum".
