I am trying to reach VR labs in the UK and Europe.

Here at Dundee we are currently coming to the end of a project using
various items of VR equipement and would like to do a tour around any
other labs in the UK or Europe to see what other work is being carried
out.  We would like to come and visit in January or February of next
year, and would be willing to gibe a short presentation on the work we
have carried out so far. Here is what we do:

ECHO

  Echo is a serc funded three year research project concerned with
multi modal computer interfaces for the disabled.  we are currently
using a VPL data glove, a ASL eytracker, and Dragon Dictate speach
recognition unit.  All three are connetced to a sun via PC's and
provide equivelent input channels for the user.

  This project is just about over.

ARCHIE

  Archie is an ESPRIT funded project, just starting, which will build
on the work of ECHO.  Again the aim is to build a multi modal computer
interface but to make it more robust using plan recognition.

Please reply to the address below if you are interested in showing us
what you do or in hearing what we do !
