Announcement: VRML97 DEMO SIG hosted by VeRGe The Virtual Reality Education Foundation (Affectionately known as VeRGe— http://www.verge.org ) is pleased to announce that on Monday, February 24, 1997 between 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Hyatt Hotel Ballroom, VeRGe has the distinct honor of corralling the best of the best VRML demos the world has to offer together exclusively for attendees of the original VRML conference, VRML 97 ( http://www.sdsc.edu/vrml97/ ) VRML 97, The Second Annual Virtual Reality Modeling Language Symposium is going to be held February 24-26, 1997 at the Hyatt Regency, Monterey California, USA. VRML 97 will be a 3-day technical forum including courses and in-depth workshop discussions on the first day, followed by paper presentations, panels, exhibits, and demonstrations on the following two days. This event is guaranteed to demonstrate ground breaking applications from the world's premier VRML companies and developers at a breakneck pace. Attending this event is the best way to get an accurate snapshot of where the state of the art in VRML technology is, and where it's heading. So come to Monterey and be amazed. Seeing that the available demo slots will completely fill up, there will be a selection process in which the best demos will be selected for your oohs and aahs. A special review panel of VRML 97 Symposium Committee members will select the winning entries. ***All entry's must be submitted by no later than Monday, February 10 and must include an one paragraph summary (URLs welcomed) of proposed demo.*** Surf on over to http://www.verge.org/projects/vrml97/signup.html to submit your entry. All winning summaries and URLs will be advertised on the VRML 97 DEMO SIG page one week prior to the event. Those seeking to keep all or part of their demo entry comments private (e.g. proprietary information not for general distribution), please clearly indicate within your summary what is for general distribution and what is not. Since we have only two hours to present all this madness, we will be allocating 5 minutes for each demo. Don Brutzman has offered to "have the U.S. Marines standing by" to enforce the time limit. But luckily, we have our own devious methods to ensure no demo "run-overs." Besides, we want to a timely end to the so we can enjoy the wonderful sponsored dinner immediately following the event. A special tip of the avatar's hat to VRML 97 Chair, Don Brutzman, for all the great feedback and fantastic leadership putting this all together. Please note there will be a DEMO SIG rehearsal one hour before the event a 4 PM. For further information and/or questions, contact the event's Monster of Ceremonies, Timothy Childs (timothy@verge.org). One more time...
