EDUCATION/CULTURE--VIRTUAL REALITY DEMONSTRATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Nova Scotia Community College, Truro Campus is holding a
public demonstration of its new virtual reality tracking system
tomorrow (Friday, May 31) at 8 p.m.
Will Bauer, virtual reality developer and owner of Acoustic
Positioning Research of Edmonton will present a short discussion
on the system, which he invented.
His talk, entitled "The Gesture and Media System, Virtual and
Integrated Media" will be followed by a hands-on demonstration.
Members of the public are invited to take part in the
demonstration. The system allows individuals to walk through an
interactive space - literally turning themselves into a computer
mouse. Participants will interact with a virtual environment
entitled Idle Hands, which was created by Interactive Technology
faculty member Steve Gibson and Spanish media artist Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer.
All members of the public and media are invited to attend the
event.
