2nd International VRSIGs Meeting at Virtual Reality World '96
in Stuttgart (Germany)
==============================================================
After the successful 1st international VRSIGs meeting last February
at the VRW '95 and a definitely strong interest in an international
exchange between the different VRSIGs world-wide, the organizers
(Robin Hollands from UK VR-SIG, Joerg Kloss from VRASP Europe, and
Kornel Szabo from VRSIG Switzerland) decided "a ready to go" for the
2nd international VRSIGs meeting. It will take place on Tuesday,
February the 13th 1996 at VRW '96 in Stuttgart.
By this call for contributions, we would like to gather information
of existing and planed VRSIGs from all over the world. The so compiled
information will be published on the net to enable and trigger fruitful
interaction between all VRSIGs.
Further, we would already invite people to join the 2nd international
VRISG meeting in February. This time, since we have more time to
prepare, we would realy try to set up on-line link to VRSIGs who can
not join physically. It would happen in a similar way as LA VRSIG
meeting has demonstrated it already several times. We would like to
make cyberspace happen, not just talking about it. We are looking
forward to this exciting experiment and would be happy if this
international VRSIG meeting could also enable similar events in the
future. The impressive work of the different SIGs certainly could be
enriched by a more or less regularly interchange.
We would like to gather the following data (please, fill out the form
