Dear scivw listeners,

I'm currently working on a classification scheme for VR apps.
There are several approaches to classify output devices such
as HMD-based, CAVE-based, or Desktop Systems. On the input level there
is also a range of devices, starting from the conventional mouse, 
6DOF devices upto DataGloves etc. I think, each system configuration 
has its advantages, disadvantages and specific areas of application. 

My aim is to identify some criteria for setting up a classification
scheme, and to find a kind of measure for "presence" and object
manipulation capabilities offered in/by virtual worlds. 

If you know any literature resources with intentions similar to
my own, please reply to this news group.

Thank you very much in advance
