Dear all, Could you please suggest any chatrooms-not of specific topic-where I could have access for research reasons? At the moment I would only like to see how they work and what the requirements for paricipating are. Best, Kalliopi Kalliopi Kyriakopoulou PhD cand.

It could be worth trying Margaret Dolinsky at Indiana University. She was doing some interesting CAVE stuff and also seemed to be open to interest around the research.

immersive enviornments
by Ed Lamoureux 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

this one's a little off center for the group . .. but once again, I need a little help. We'd like to visit an immersive environment or two. . . . We are particularly interested in physical places that use multimedia in documentary fashion while leveraging other digital aspects to enhance the experience. The MIT media lab is probably out . . . we've not been able to leverage a sponsor for that tour over the years (though of course if one popped up, we'd go quickly) . . . But we are open to other opportunities. Suggestions? thanks Edward Lee Lamoureux, Ph. D.
