  • PRESENCE: new J. on Teleoperators & Virtual Space

    Dear Biomch-L readers,

    Since advertising is strictly taboo on EARN/BITNET, I must apologize for the
    optimistic tone of the X-post from UseNet below. Yet, I believe that this
    information is sufficiently meaningful from a public service point of view.
    I haven't seen the first issue!

    **************************************************

    ANOTHER *PRESENCE*: ANNOUNCING THE SECOND ISSUE OF THE FIRST SCHOLARLY
    JOURNAL ON TELEOPERATORS AND VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS--FORTHCOMING IN
    AUGUST, 1992

    Engineers, scientists, psychologists, architects, executives, artists:
    be on the lookout for another PRESENCE in August, 1992. That's about
    the time MIT Press Journals will publish the second--spring, 1992--issue
    of PRESENCE, the first quarterly for serious investigators of
    teleoperators and virtual environments. You can expect from the spring
    issue the same caliber of teleoperator and virtual environment research,
    ideas, and applications that you enjoyed in the premier--winter,
    1992--issue published last March.

    The table of contents for the spring issue is being finalized.
    Tentatively scheduled are:

    * "Artists Explore Virtual Reality: The Bioapparatus Residency at
    Banss Centre for the Arts" Warren Robinett and Michael Naimark

    * "A Survey of Position Trackers" Kenneth Mayer, Hugh L. Applewhite,
    Frank A. Biocca

    * "An Electrorheological Tactile Display" G. J. Monkman

    * Forum
    "A Nose Gesture Interface Device: Extending Virtual Realities" (humor)
    T. R. Henry, S. E. Hudson, A. K. Yeatts, B. A. Myers, S. Feiner


    We anticipate PRESENCE will have an international circulation of
    approximately 2,000, including: (1) electrical and mechanical engineers
    concerned with teleoperators; (2) computer scientists, high-tech
    artists, media people, and others interested in virtual environments;
    and (3) psychologists involved in the study of human-machine interfaces
    and sensorimotor/cognitive behavior.
