[duplicate of a post I did to vworlds-biz]
Is immersipresense going to make a comeback? Today's LA Times
article is "A virtual world is taking shape in research labs". It
even mentions Lanier, so I had to check very carefully to make sure
it wasn't a 1990 article that accidentally showed up
today.

Interesting quote, "we are born, we live, and we are going to die in
a 3D environment", according Max Nikias, director of USC's
Integrated Media Systems Center.
Of course one of the major changes since 1990 is that 3D graphic has
gotten a lot better. So the focus with the current research is
towards more realistic, immersive 3D.
