> Like the First Conference at Austin in 1990, and the Second Inter-
> national Conference in Santa Cruz in 1991, the Third Conference on
> Cyberspace is not only about the enabling technology of virtual
> reality, 3-D user interfaces, networking, data visualization, high
> speed computer graphics, and so on, but also the nature of cyberspace
> as such, conceived of as an independent realm, a shared virtual
> environment whose inhabitants, objects, and spaces are data,
> visualized, heard and (perhaps) touched. It seeks to reach an
> understanding of how the components of cyberspace already "under
> construction" in the development and design of graphic user inter-
> faces, scientific visualization techniques, video games, CAD, abstract
> architecture and architectural design theory, knowledge navigation,
> "cyberpunk" discourse, cultural studies, film and narrative theory,
> virtual and artificial reality systems, MU*s, INTERNET, USENET and
> other networks, groupware, and hypermedia might someday function
> together to create a true, public cyberspace, as well as private,
> special-purpose cyberspaces: viable, 3-dimensional, alternate
> realities providing the maximum number of individuals with the means
> of communication, creativity, productivity, mobility, and control over
> the shapes of their lives within the new information and media
> environment.
>
> The Third Conference on Cyberspace is scheduled to take place over two
> days and two nights, two sessions held concurrently. In addition,
> there will be an evening ROUND TABLE on the night of the 14th and a
> DINNER on the night of the 15th. The attempt will be made to match
> Topics to Sessions, but the number, nature, and quality of submissions
> will be the deciding factor in scheduling.
>
> The following is a representative list of the general topics of
> interest to the Conference. OTHER, is also an option. The organizers
> ask only that rampant speculation be accompanied by "concrete"
> accomplishment.
>
>
>
>
> I. COMMUNICATIONS, MEDIA, AND THE CITY
> Papers are invited that discuss and/or report on the proliferation and
> diversification of the media-- from TV to telephones, from movies to
> magazines, from alternative radio to ATMs--and all other computer-
> mediated communication systems. What are the impacts of these on the
> physical city, its social structure, its human experience? Surveil-
> lance, privacy, and the law. Is cyberspace to be in the city, or the
> city in cyberspace?
>
>
> II. VIRTUAL WORLD AND WORK/PLAYSPACE DESIGN
> Artists as well as engineers and programmers are invited to submit
> papers that discuss, demonstrate or report on work done in the design
> of single or multi-user computer-generated environments, in parti-
> cular, environments--for whatever use, research, entertainment, or
> business--that create three (and higher) dimensional space sensorially
> and/or cognitively. How does "multimedia" become the new "unimedium"
> of cyberspace? The focus is less on technology than design, less on
> hardware than software.
>
>
> III. PERSONHOOD, COMMUNITY, AND AGENCY
> Contributions that discuss or report on BBS and Net life. Who/what
> are you on the Net? And where? How do cyberspace communities differ
> from realspace ones; how might they in the future? What are the
> effects of non-face to face communications on identity? What are the
> effects of increases in bandwidth and/or realspace mobility that come
> with ubiquitous computing? Telephonics. Redefining work and play.
> Procrastination space. Money and time; access and denial; methods and
> modes of electronic communication. Informed discussions of the
> history of technology and consciousness are welcomed.
>
>
> IV. COMPUTATION: SPEED, SYNCHRONY, AND OTHER PROBLEMS
> Papers are invited that deal with techniques (1) for handling latency
> in graphics processing and display and (2) handling traffic, routing,
> and transmission delays in high speed, long distance networks in the
> service of achieving co-presence. How are objects in cyberspace to
> be realspace- distributed (updated, rendered, displayed, sounded,
> etc.)? Progress reports on distributed processing vs. massively
> parallel hosts; network topologies, routing strategies, optical
> methods, multimodal operation, graceful degradation, etc. Space
> requires local simultaneity: is there special or general relativity in
> cyberspace?
>
>
> V. INTERFACES: IMMERSION, INTIMACY, IMMENSITY
> Papers are invited that report on work underway or achieved in the
> area of innovative human-computer interfaces. Plausible and specific
> hardware and software design proposals are acceptable. Stereopsis;
> binaural, "convolved" and multitracked sound; eye-, head-, hand-,
> body-tracking; contact/touch feedback; inertial motion simulators;
> motion control software, etc. are all of interest to the extent that
> they promise or deliver spatial immersion at different scales and
> subjective distances. Demonstrations are especially welcomed, as are
> relevant studies in psychoacoustics and "pscyhospatiality."
>
>
> VI. POETICS AND PERFORMANCE
> Papers and performances are invited that make use of networked
> interactive computers, robotics, virtual worlds and/or artificial
> realities to extend human expression and communication. Graphic or
> sonic works of chiefly artistic merit that (also) create
> (cyber)spaces are welcomed, as are discussions and demonstrations of
> powerful on-line literary works. One or Many Authors? What
> Audience? Autonomous Artworks? Telepresence? Teleperformance?
> Creation by Agent? Immersive Aesthetics? Navigable Music? Liquid
> Architecture? Synaesthesia and Multisensory Correlation? Ephemery and
> Permanence? Global Art? The Political Dimension?
>
>
> VII. THE NATURE OF INFORMATION
> Discussions of the theory of information and theories of meaning as
> extended from the purely cybernetic realm to the realm of human
> perception and communication are invited; as are reports on, and
> demonstrations of, work in scientific or business data visualization
> software and theory, the logic of data navigation, search, discovery,
> manipulation, sharing, etc. Are cyberspaces themselves self-
> organizing systems? How are we to measure their complexity,
> organization, and value as structures in themselves as well as
> container/purveyors of "information?"
>
>
> VIII. THE QUESTION OF ECONOMICS
> >From education, entertainment, news, law, "intelligence," and science,
> to advertising, brokerage, credit histories, prices, and schedules...
> the information-for-sale business is distinct from the communications-
> tools business (i.e. computing, telephony, printing, etc.). Submis-
> sions are invited that throw light the economics of both, especially
> with regard to on-line information services such as Compuserve and
> Amix, and computer network management services such as EDS. Are these
> operations the economic basis for cyberspace? Or is it to be the
> providers of the channels and machines? Can cyberspace be decen-
> tralized, individualized? Is cyberspace access to be free? What is
> the link to imminent interactive (HD)TV-based information services?
> Does hacking pay? Of what specifically economic value are 3-D and VR
> interfaces?
>

> LOCATION AND ACCOMMODATIONS
>
> Austin is a beautiful and friendly city of 400,000 people in the
> heart of the Texas Hill country. It is the home of the legislature of

> two hotels: one downtown and adjacent Austin's renowned 6th Street
> night life, the other a short walking distance to campus. These
> arrangements will be finalized in February. Austin's airport is 10
> minutes from the campus and downtown. Cabs are inexpensive.
