(NIKKEI) Welcome to ICAT/VRST '95! ICAT is the first international conference on virtual reality open to all who are interested in this field. For the last four years, ICAT has had many speakers from all over the world present their latest researches. This year, the 5th ICAT conference will be combined with VRST '95. VRST was first held in Singapore last year. The program included papers, panels tutorials, demonstrations, opening plenary and invited talks. By combining the two events together, we will be able to bring you the most comprehensive coverage of VR.
