The "VR Online" project is just starting to establish itself as a
"virtual corporation" operating across the globe. Using leading edge
Java, VRML, HTML, Microsoft Backoffice/ Access/ Information Server and
Internet Studio technologies its mission is to create the next
generation of internet service.

We will be operating as a co-op relying on computing professionals,
students and enthusiasts to give about 20 hrs a week of their time for
6-12 months. In return everyone involved will get a stake in the
company. Everyone will have input into the look and feel of the final
product.  Once initial designs have been set, the project management
team will break the project down into modules for each person to focus
on. YOU COULD BE INVOLVED IN CREATING THE FUTURE LOOK OF THE INTERNET!

Groups of students (especially those with skills in VRML) who can take
on larger modules are very welcome. No money is needed to get
involved, just a high speed Internet link (28.8k absolute minimum),
lots of time, and PLENTY OF ENTHUSIASM!

The costs of hardware and software the service will run on are being
covered by venture capitalists.

The project will be managed from London, where the hardware will be situated.
