Today Murali was sick but the class was led by the emerging visualization group. It was quite fascinating. Perhaps what was most interesting was how an "immersive environment" was used to train gunners in World War II by using projections of incoming assaults.

Today we discussed the reading for emerging visualization. In doing so we were able to discuss what meaning we attributed to the phrase "virtual reality." Do we think that you have to wear a large projector headset or can just sending an email classify as writing and sending a hand written letter?

Today we went to the "Hive" and met with Eric Hodgson and saw the work he is doing with virtual reality. Here we had a chance to experience a virtual environment and learn about how this particular environment works. It was of particular interest to see how the enviornment constantly is reorienting the user through slight adjustments so that they do not run into walls or leave the phyical confines of the actual space.
