Hi all

I need some help.  But before beginning thanks to all that have been
sending me things to use in my paper.  Just so that I don't scare anyone
off I am writing a paper for my Research Seminar class in my Graduate
Program.  I have three weeks to get this done.  This is NOT a Master's
Thesis and is not intended to be published, just to complete my course
work.......

Problem:

My Professor showed me a paper that a grad student wrote about three
years ago on virtual reality.  The student who wrote the paper claimed
that Jaron Lanier led the initial research team at NASA Ames.  I cannot
find any actual reference to this, if it is in fact true, which I doubt
at this point.

If I am going to be defending my position to my prof, I will need the
facts, otherwise my findings will undoubtedly be discounted.  

Please help and thanks in advance......
