This user group has been organized by WorldToolKit customers with assistance from Sense8. SIG-WTK provides a world-wide electronic forum for the discussion of WTK-related issues as well as an anonymous ftp site for uploading and downloading WTK-related data. In addition to the electronic forum, several SIG-WTK users' group meetings have been held and additional regular meetings are planned. Here are some words from the original sig-wtk chairman, Terry Fong: Subject: *** ANNOUNCING SIG-WTK *** Greetings fellow WTK user! I would like to cordially invite you to participate in "SIG-WTK", the WorldToolKit Users' Group. This group is intended to provide a contact point for users of Sense8 Corporation's "WorldToolKit" to discuss and exchange information on a variety of topics. Among these are: 1. 3D objects: modeling, importing/exporting to WTK NFF, sharing 2. sensor drivers: development, reducing lag & latency 3. managing user interaction 4. efficient development of virtual environments with WTK 5. distribution and sharing of virtual environments 6. improving simulation performance (e.g., frame rate, quality) 7. platform specific issues (e.g., GL queues on SGI machines) 8. advocating WTK improvements/changes to Sense8 To send a message to all SIG-WTK members, please address it to: Internet: sig-wtk@artemis.arc.nasa.gov To subscribe, unsubscribe, send email to: sig-wtk-request@artemis.arc.nasa.gov with in the body of the message, the text "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" To get help, or a list of possible commands, send email to: majordomo@artemis.arc.nasa.gov with in the body "help" (See bottom of this message for a copy of the message with all commands) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIG-WTK ANONYMOUS FTP ARCHIVE ============================= Welcome to SIG-WTK!
