> BALTIMORE, MD - A pioneer of virtual reality, Scott Fisher speaks in
> Maryland Institute College of Art's Hall at Brown Center (1301 Mount
> Royal Avenue) on Thursday, April 8 at 7 p.m. Scott Fisher conducted
> seminal research in virtual reality (VR) in the late 1980s at the
> NASA-Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, where he worked
> on the Virtual Environment Workstation (VIEW) project. There, he
> pioneered the development of technology for multi-sensory interaction
> with cybernetic devices, creating the powerful illusion of entering a
> digitized landscape. His talk at MICA kicks off a two-day academic
> symposium on collaboration between the arts and sciences: The New
> Techne
> Symposium, organized jointly by Randall Packer of MICA's Center for New
> Media and Joan Freedman of The Johns Hopkins University's Digital Media
> Center. The symposium is sponsored by Intel and Firaxis Games.
>
> The Thursday event, which is free and open to the public, also includes
> a reception from 5 - 7 p.m. in the Brown Center, with presentations of
> collaborations between MICA and the Homewood and Peabody Conservatory
> campuses of The Johns Hopkins University, projects supported by Intel,
> works by Hunt Valley-based Firaxis Games, and remarks by Firaxis
> Founder, CEO, and President Jeffery Briggs.

> Scott S. Fisher is a media artist and interaction designer, whose work
> focuses primarily on immersive environments and technologies of
> presence. Currently, he is Chair of the Interactive Media Division in
> the School of Cinema-Television at the University of Southern
> California. He is also President of Telepresence Media, a production
> company focusing on the art and design of virtual environment and
> remote
> presence experiences, and Project Professor in the Graduate School of
> Media and Governance at Keio University at Shonan Fujisawa, Japan; From
> 1997 to 1999, he was Director of the Virtual Explorer Project in the
> Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of
> California, San Diego.
>
> The NASA system on which he worked in the 1980s included an updated
> version of the head-mounted display, with stereoscopic images that
> provided stereoscopic depth of field, a major advancement over the
> monoscopic vision of earlier VR devices. Fisher added headphones for 3D
> audio, a microphone for speech recognition, and, in collaboration with
> Tom Zimmerman, adapted the "dataglove" - a wired glove worn by the user
> that makes it possible to grasp virtual objects in cyberspace. This new
> system offered a significant advance toward what Fisher termed
> "telepresence" - the projection of the self into a virtual world. "The
> possibilities of virtual realities, it appears, are as limitless as the
> possibilities of reality," noted Fisher. "They can provide a human
> interface that disappears - a doorway to other worlds."
>
> The New Techne Symposium will continue with a day-long series of
> presentations and conversations that will engage invited faculty from
> MICA, Johns Hopkins' Homewood and Peabody campuses, and other local
> universities with industry leaders, colleagues at other regional
> institutions, and new media pioneer Scott Fisher, whose work
> demonstrates successful strategies in the integration of art and
> technology. The Friday activities program is by invitation only.

blog.
