VeRGe'ns! We're off the road and on the case again, to bring you...

   "Agents, Avatars, and the Digital Self:
     In Cyberspace, Who Will YOU Be?"

    WEDNESDAY, JULY 17th
    7:30 pm
    Exploratorium, San Francisco
    requested donation, $5


The VR Education Foundation beckons you to discover how the wizards of
cyberspace will help you represent yourself--and your lovely
assistants--online. What will you be? A human? A dolphin? A carrot? A
lobster?

Following presentations from the chart-toppers in cyberspace, a lively
(and possibly heated) panel discussion will take place. Invited
participants include reps from Black Sun Interactive, Onlive, OZ, and
Paragraph.

In addition, VeRGe'n and Silicon Graphics BMOC David Frerichs will
demonstrate Cosmo, the new SGI VRML 2.0 browser and authoring package.

PLUS! Hallie McConlogue from the new Silicon Valley Institute of Art
and Technology will dazzle us with her unique AVATARial
demo/performance.

THERE'S MORE....FOOD. Nutrition, or at least carbos and sugars, will
be generously provided by the industry's leading newsletter, CyberEdge
Journal.

AND (CROSSING OUR FINGERS 'n TOES), this VeRGe event will be
netcast. We will send you an updated meeting announcement with the
reflector data before the event.

VeRGe, a.k.a. Virtual Reality Education Foundation, Inc., is brought
to you by Linda Jacobson, Timothy Childs, Peter Rothman, and Benedict
O'Mahoney. We founded VeRGe in 1992 to enhance the public's
understanding of VR technologies, applications, and pioneers.
