From: John Wann Subject: HUMAN-FACTORS: Stereo-displays and "What is VR" Date: Mon, 9 Sep 1996 10:52:40 +0000 Message-ID: There have been a spate of posts of whether stereo is essential to VR displays and there is a re-current theme on this list about what constitutes VR (e.g. MUD <-> Stereo-immersive ?). We have a paper recently out in IJHCS that tries to address many of these issues. Academic press are very generous with their free reprints so I've a large stack of these cluttering up my office: Wann J. & Mon-Williams M. (1996) Whats does virtual reality NEED?: Human factors issues in the design of 3-dimensional computer environments. Intern. Journal of Human-Computer Studies 44, 829-847. If you'd like a copy of the paper above, so you can tell me I'm talking through my butt (or "bottom" as we say in England) then email me a landmail address and at least I can pretend all those trees died for a reason.
