>HI all
>Well by now you should have seen the new VR-ART@gallery
>lay out with the .zip files for PCs in the 3Dgallery with
>its built in viewer. Here are some things which I hope you
>will take the time to look at. VR-art@ NEWS will be posted on a monthly
>basses from now on so if you would like to post in to it then just drop me
>a line on s.e.varney@derby.ac.uk.I think I may need a volunteer to help
>with my spelling if it gets to bad sorry for my short fallings.

>[1:] call for contributions

>What I need now is more work to put on the gallery.
>2D and 3D work in any format with a short .TXT file
>would be fine. I especially need MAC and SGI or SPARKS work so as not to make
>the gallery too one sided. We have a 1 gigabit upgrade for the site
>so we can handle large files.
>
>I'm hoping to put some more VRML worlds on the site so if any one has some
>VRML art works they would like to contribute that would be good.
>
>Also I wish to expand the "Home space builder" gallery by putting the whole
>of the Derby photographic Open Show '95 in it, so look out for that one.
>
>If you have a PC and you down load the VR-ART@gallery 3d.zip file onto your
>machine then you will find the world builder built in e.g. Home Space Builder
>with which you can create your own galleries . If you do this could you post
>the galleries to me as an attached Document. in ZIP form and I will place
>it on the site.

>David Aaron and myself have a question. Do you think the BeeB would be
>interested in the VR-ART@ site if we had a stronger practical element, e.g. if
>it had a VR solutions page and a CHEEP VR page? On which we could put
>transcripts of TV programmes to do with VR and VEs
>
>Would any one like to contribute to this?

>Here's some good news, we have just purchased 12 SGIs indigo II
>on which to set up a VR work-station and have several software
>supplier interested in sponsoring us. As you probably know at the
>moment our sponsors are SuperScape Ltd and ParaGraph Ltd.
>We will be putting the NT imps software on one of the SGIs
>so we can run PC VR S.W. and hopefully on a MAC emulator.
>If any other VR companies would like to get involved with the VR-ART@
>gallery then just drop me a line.(s.e.varney@derby.ac.uk)

>[4:] VR-ART@ on DEC ALPHAs

>At the moment we are looking at buying TWO or THREE DEC ALPHAs
>Computers each with 64MB RAM on which to run some test VR software
>we are seeking funding for this.
>The decks will support HMDs with their boards so we hope to have at least
>3 to 4 HMDs to the Alpha network. This will support multiple user dominoes
>using VRML.

>[5:] A VR-ART@ one workshop and confraounes

>I'm thinking of having a VR-ART@ one day meeting.
>How many of you would be interesterd in a work shop on the SGIs
>and MACs. It will not be a practical day just a series of talks.
>Open discussions and practical solutions would be the order of the day.
>
>So I want to know if you would like this?

>If yes when?

>and what would you like to see there?
