To all who have not written me yet,

some days ago I sent a similar news around. There were about 8 answers
concerning **distributed** VR. I would like all developers doing any 
research in this special area to write me a short abstract about their 
work.

After 9 December I will write a short summary and post it to this
newsgroup.

==== Here again the old news ==========================================	

I am looking for groups doing research in distributed/parallel
walking through animations or even in distributed/parallel Virtual 
Reality. I have already implemented 3D walking through animation 
and I am looking forward negotiating with groups doing research in
similar projects.

Here are the figures of our environment:

     ------------------------------------------------
     DIWoS - Distributed Interactive World Simulation
     ------------------------------------------------

     Hardware: Parsytec SC with 320  T8 nodes
               Parsytec GC with 1024 T8 nodes
               Parsytec GDS-II True Color Graphics Card (32 planes)

     Software: Arbitrary 3D dxf files
               3D Clipping
               Gouraud Shading
               Phong Lighting
               All stuff done in software (Sigh !)
