In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of a plasma display panel for a wide field of view desktop virtual reality environment. Present commercial plasma displays are not designed with virtual reality in mind, leading to several problems in generating stereo imagery and obtaining good tracking information. Although we developed solutions for a number of these problems, the limitations of the system preclude its current use in practical applications, and point to issues that must be resolved for flat panel displays to be useful for VR., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, 3rd International Immersive Projection Technology Workshop (Stuttgart, Germany, 10-11 May 1999)

As part of the iGrid Research Demonstration at INET 2000, we created two Virtual Cultural Heritage environments - "Virtual Harlem" and "Shared Miletus". The purpose of these applications was to explore possibilities in using the combination of high-speed international networks and virtual reality (VR) displays for cultural heritage education. Our ultimate goal is to enable the construction of tele-immersive museums and classes. In this paper we present an overview of the infrastructure used for these applications, and some details of their construction., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, INET 2001 (Stockholm, Sweden, 5-8 June 2001)

We describe a system for visualization and editing of data in a computational chemistry environment. The system is a collaborative tool allowing researchers using virtual reality and/or desktop computer displays to work together on results of the Shake-and-Bake structure determination application., Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of 2nd INTUITION International Workshop, Paris, France, 24-25 Nov 2005
