Pointers to any locations or urls would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Brian Richardson McDonnell Douglas - KSC richardb@gallifrey.nasa.ksc.gov [The reference FAQ has a good list to start with: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/scivw/reference-faq.html Also, my On the Net document has an Electronic Document section: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/projects/knowledge_base/elec.html The best bet would be to check the research centers, they usually have a list of publications that they make available on the WWW. For example, our HITL Publications are at: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/publications/ For a list of research centers, see: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/projects/knowledge_base/research.html -T.E.] --------------------------------------- From: mwojcik@ripco.com (Mike Wojcik) Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: SPECS: PowerGlove and IBM PC Date: 24 Feb 1997 04:27:38 GMT Organization: Ripco, Chicago's Oldest Online Information Service Message-ID: <5er5bq$p64$1@gail.ripco.com> I recently picked up a mattel power-glove fairly cheap.. I've always been fascinated with the idea of hooking it up to my PC... I've hear about things like the menelli box.. Are those still sold? Or are there scematics to build an interface box? Can anyone point me to any solid web/ftp resources.. Or give me any first hand advice? Anything would be appreciated! Thanks.. [The best WWW stuff on the Power-Glove, IMHO, is Chris Hands Pages: http://www.cms.dmu.ac.uk:80/~cph/hbvr.html Also, check out Robin Hollands book: The Virtual Reality Homebrewer's Handbook http://www.shef.ac.uk/~vrmbg/vrhmhb/vrhmhb.html -T.E.] --------------------------------------- From: "Phoenix" Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 11:27:42 EST Subject: INFO: Medical research with VR Reply-to: CGaffney@EMAIL.ES.CC.VA.US Message-ID: <1370C254B12@email.es.cc.va.us> Hello, I'm a sophmore at the Eastern Shore Community College, and I'm doing a research project on Virtual Reality.

If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!!
