Subject: Important Organization: NTII: National Tele-Immersion Initiative


Greetings technologists,

Hi, I thought..this might interest you..NTII will enable users at
geographically distributed sites to collaborate in real time in a shared,
simulated environment as if they were in the same physical room. The new
paradigm for human-computer interaction is the ultimate synthesis of
networking and media technologies..the details about the Tele-Immersion
Initiative can be found at <http://www.advanced.org/teleimmersion.html>

One of the participants of NTII, Prof. Henry Fuchs..his upcoming book
Fragments of a Family: a Multigenerational Memoir on Hungary, the
Holocaust, and Emigration to a New World.
