Hello all, I'm new to the VRML lit list...thought I'd say hello. I'm a graduate student at Michigan State University and finishing up my degree in San Francisco (testing out the whole distance learning thing). I'm working on a masters in Digital media arts and H.C.I. studies, with my particular focus being design and usability of interactive narratives in 3D worlds. My thesis will ammount to a hybrid between design theory and production experiments as I investigate how one goes about telling stories and relating experiences with 3D environments (at the moment VRML). So that's about it. I'm interested in any dialogue or references any of you can share to enlighten me on these topics as well as any insight into how we can allow the user to become immersed in a narrative while allowing structure of various sorts to dictate their actions. I'll go back and browse through the archives of this list to get myself up to date in the meantime... adios ------------------------------------ Jeff R.
