University of Manchester, UK, 17-19th June 1998
Deadline for registration 22nd May 1998
Deadline for early-bird registration 14th April 1998
A Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) is an application that uses a Virtual Environment to support human-human and human-machine communication. Within the Virtual Environment, multiple users can convene, communicate and collaborate. Virtual Environments vary in their representational richness; for example environments may be graphical (2D or 3D) or may be purely text-based as with many MUDs/MOOs. The design, development and use of CVEs is an exciting research area with much potential for inter-disciplinary collaboration particularly between the fields of computer science, psychology, sociology, cultural & media studies, architecture & urban planning, Artificial Intelligence, human computer interaction and CSCW.
Papers, demonstrations and posters at the conference will address the following topics:
CVE'98 will also be held in conjunction with a one day workshop on the System Aspects of Sharing a Virtual Reality which will take place on 17th June 1998. See http://graphics.lcs.mit.edu/sharedvr/ for more information on the workshop.
22nd May 1998: Deadline for registration
CVE'98 will be held in conjunction with the 50th anniversary celebrations of the invention of the stored program digital computer at Manchester University.
Manchester is a city of contrasting images, from imposing Victorian buildings, like the Town Hall to the post-modernism of the new waterfront development at Salford Quays. As Britain's second largest city it offers a wide choice of activities. In the daytime you can visit the renowned Manchester Museum and Whitworth Art Gallery; at night there are theatres, such as the Opera House, cinemas, excellent restaurants, in particular a wide choice of ethnic cuisine in Rusholme and Chinatown, and a vibrant club scene.
The Peak District is but a short journey from Manchester, and there are many parks and greenbelt areas closer to the city (for example Trafford Water Sports Centre or Styal Country Park with its water-powered cotton mill.
