VRST'94, the Conference on Virtual Reality Software and Technology,
presents a high-quality forum for innovative virtual reality research
and development. The conference will bring together virtual reality
researchers and developers for a four day program.
Demos are sought on a wide range of topics in virtual reality.
DEMONSTRATIONS
Demonstrations enable the developers of systems to present their systems to
conference attendees. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their
potential as interesting demonstrations and for bringing new and exciting
ideas to the conference.
Descriptions of the accepted demonstrations will be printed in the
conference proceedings. Submit six copies of a five page proposal
describing why a demonstration is the best way to present the work,
its relevance to the VRST attendees, a demonstration story board
with a few screen pictures, and a detailed description of the equipment
support needed. Submission in hardcopy form must be received by
March 28, 1994. You are encouraged to discuss your requirements
over email with the Demonstrations Chair. Send questions and requests for
information to:

About the Sponsors
ACM/SIGCHI
Founded in 1947, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
is the largest and oldest educational and scientific computer
organization in the industry today. ACM's name reflects the
concerns of its founders (i.e., machinery), but ACM's vitality stems
from its members - their ideas and experience. ACM is a society
of individuals, a living vehicle for the continuity of professional
standards and traditions. From a dedicated group of 78, ACM is
now 85,000 strong, with 34 special interest groups (SIGs), including
SIGCHI (Special Interest Group for Computer Human Interaction), and
more than 600 chapters and student chapters.
The scope of SIGCHI consists of the study of the human-computer
interaction process and includes research, design, development
and evaluation efforts for interactive systems. The focus of
SIGCHI is on how people communicate and interact with a broadly
defined range of computer systems. SIGCHI servers as a forum
for the exchange of ideas among computer scientists, human factors
specialists, psychologists, social scientists, systems designers,
graphic designers and end users. Over 6,200 professionals work
together toward common goals and objectives. For further
information, email to ACMHELP@xxxxxxx or call +1 212-626-0500
Institute of Systems Science, Singapore
The Institute of Systems Science (ISS) is a leading computer
research laboratory in the Pacific region with close to 100 research
staff. ISS aims to provide international and regional leadership
in next generation technologies and spin-offs. The research focus of
the Institute broadly covers seven strategic areas: Multimedia Systems,
Natural Language Processing, Broadband Networking,
Archival and Retrieval of Multimedia Information, Neural Networks
and Fuzzy Logic, Medical Imaging: Rendering and Analysis,
and Accelerated Computing. ISS also offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees
by research. For further information on ISS, contact K.T. Goh
at gohkt@xxxxxxxxxx or +65 772-2469.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Location: Singapore
Situated at one of the most important crossroads of the world,
Singapore is truly a place where East and West come together.
Here you will find Chinese, Indian and Malay communities living
harmoniously together, their long established cultures forming a
unique backdrop to a clean and modern garden city. English is
spoken everywhere and is the common business language of all.
Few places on earth promise such delight for the palate, with
gourmet cuisines from over 30 countries.
Singapore's climate is warm and welcoming all year round, with
temperatures ranging from 28 degrees Celsius in the day, to 23
degrees Celsius by night.
Further information on ISS and Singapore is available on the
World Wide Web (WWW) server at ISS. To access it through
