September 18-22, 1993 The Virtual Reality Technical Committee of the IEEE Neural Networks Council cordially invites you to attend the First Virtual Reality Annual International Symposium. Virtual Reality has grown in recent years into an active, highly interdisciplinary field of research, development, and applications prototyping. It goes by several names including virtual environments, virtual worlds, artificial reality, and advanced computer-human interfaces. Whatever it is called, there exist many challenges to be overcome in science, engineering, and technology development before the vision of virtual reality can be reached. The goal of this conference is to bring together workers in the many diverse technical disciplines contributing to this field and provide a forum for the interchange of timely, quality theories; experimental results; and technological developments. We encourage you and your colleagues to actively participate in this first IEEE conference in virtual reality science and technology. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Neural Networks Council and cosponsored by nearly every IEEE society there is.

Venue, Hotel, and Travel ---------------------- Seattle is a truly beautiful, exceptionally friendly city, and a cultural Mecca on the U.S. West Coast. The conference takes place in Seattle's heart. Nearby is almost every major urban attraction in the city, including the Space Needle and Pacific Science Center, the world famous Pike Place Public Market, and the ferries to the legendary islands of Puget Sound. Vancouver, BC, Seattle's sister city, is only three hours north by automobile; Portland, Oregon, is three hours south. The Olympic Peninsula, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Rainer are each within an hour's drive. The Sheraton Hotel & Towers reservation number is +1-206-621-9000. For VRAIS registrants, room rates are $118 (single) and $138 (double). Deadline for Hotel reservations is AUGUST 1, 1993. American Airlines has waived restrictions and thus permitted many registrants to fly with SuperSaver fares. The official travel agency of the VRAIS is Bristol Travel, +1-800-762- 2746 or +1-714-285-1145. During off-hours, U.S. residents can call +1-800-237-7980 and use reference number SY2CO for preferential service. There are tours available for spouses and families to Snoqualmie Falls ("Twin Peaks"), all around Puget Sound by boat, and Boeing's state-of- the-art factories and technical center.
