Hi all--

I recently put out a request for VR-related WWW sites for a presentation I
am doing for the LAVR-SIG meeting in October. Thanks to all who responded
(especially Toni Emerson, Bob Jacobson, and Diegp Montefusco). I am
including my current working list of WWW and FTP URL's gleaned from
E-mail's and other research I've done on the Internet. Please be aware
that these are in no particular order, and that I haven't had a chance to
try any of them out yet to verify their authenticity. If anyone tries one
of these, and it doesn't exist, please let me know so I can cross it off
the list.

Thanx again for all the help!!

Internet-Controlled Robot On-Line at USC
The system uses multimedia Mosaic software to provide access
to the World Wide Web (WWW), a part of the Internet that
facilitates the transmission of image and sound data in
addition to text. Users who navigate to the system's
electronic address --
http://www.usc.edu/dept/raiders/story/index.html
arrive at an orientation window that explains the project and gives
basic operating information about the system.
