                     GROUP PHILOSOPHY
The purpose of the Boston Computer Society Virtual Reality Group is to
provide an ongoing forum for bringing scientists and developers together
with VR enthusiasts/potential users who do not normally attend
VR-industry gatherings.  By exploring both the technology and its
cultural implications, exposing each to the other's thoughts and ideas,
we can help shape the future of this medium.
