From: ron@cybernautics.com (Ron Hogan) Subject: ONLINE: Interview with Kate Seeking of Microsoft Java Group Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 16:24:38 -0700 Message-ID: Organization: Cybernautics, Inc. In 1993, Kate Seeking was one of the founding members of RenderMorphics, a UK firm that made a high speed real-time 3D software rendering library called Reality Lab. On a business trip to America, she met Mark Pesce and Tony Parisi, who would eventually use RealityLab to develop the earliest versions of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). In 1995, RenderMorphics was aquired by Microsoft, and Seeking came back to the States to join Mr. Gatesı staff as a 3D evangelist. Currently working as a Program Manager in Microsoft's Java Group, Seeking is still actively involved with VRML, sitting on the VRML Consortium Board of Directors. In an interview with Shel Kimen, editor in chief of the vrml.sgi.com website, Seeking discusses her role in the ongoing development of the VRML 2.0 specs, Microsoftıs commitment to VRML development, and the possibilities for using VRML in conjunction with Java and other programming languages.

Since I hate netwide spam as much as you do, I've made every effort to make sure that my posts are relevant to the groups in which they appear, rather than disruptive. For those of you who are interested in learning more about VRML as part of creating virtual worlds, I hope that these posts will be able to poit you towards useful material.] Ron Hogan -------------------------------------------------------------------- ron@cybernautics.com
