>videoconferencing system, transmitted over an inverse multiplexed ISDN
>connection at a bandwidth of 112 Kb/s. Ben is embarking on his fifth year
>of publication, which has featured 26 issues of CYBEREDGE JOURNAL, 8 CEJ
>Special Edition issues, 3 technical monographs, and the first CEJ Virtual
>Reality Product Guide magazine. Ben will send enough copies of the CEJ
>Product Guide magazine to be distributed freely to all attendees of the
>VRSIG meeting.

>His presentation will include a snapshot of the dynamically changing state
>of the VR business, and an expert's view on some of the most significant
>applications of VR in real projects going on around the globe. Many of
>these applications have been nominated for the 4th annual CJ, The
>CYBEREDGE
>JOURNAL VIRTUAL REALITY PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARDS.
>
>The live presentation will be on WEBSPACE, Silicon Graphic's add-on
>product
>to Web Browsers which enables the navigation and visualization of 3D Web
>based virtual worlds. SGI's version will run only on it's own high end
>machines, but in a partnership agreement, Template Graphics Software will
>make WEBSPACE available for Windows, Windows NT, Macintosh, and other
>non-SGI UNIX based workstations. WEBSPACE supports VRML (Virtual Reality
>Modeling Language), a format that is emerging as a standard for 3D VR
>worlds on the World Wide Web. VRML is based on SGI's Open Inventor file
>format, which has been made widely available to developers around the
>world. This meeting is a follow up to the March meeting which featured a
>live presentation by Marc Pesce of The Communities Company, which is the
>group that has spearheaded the development of VRML as a standard.
>
>This presentation launches the fourth year of on-going VRSIG meetings at
>the Santa Monica Electronic Cafe. Admission to the event is $10.00, and
>there will be ample opportunity for questions and answers for both
>presentations. Please contact Dave Blackburn for more information at
>310-545-0369. To get to The Electronic Cafe, from the 10 FWY Westbound,
>exit at Cloverfield/26th Street. Go right to Olympic, then left to 18th
>Street, and right to the end of the block. There will be a parking lot on
>the right, and the Electronic Cafe is located on the Southeast corner of
>the parking lot at 1649 18th Street.
