- Miles Apart, People
Feel They're In The Same Room, UniSci, 15-Dec-2000
"By marrying telecommunications and technology similar to that used in 3D
movies, computer scientists have orchestrated a session in which
participants sitting in different locations feel as if they're chatting
in the same room."

Innerspace meets cyberspace, by Tracey Logan, BBC, 23-Oct-2001
"Meditation is a tough skill to learn, especially when you're anxious or stressed.
But at Georgia Tech in the United States, Professor Larry Hodges believes virtual
reality could deliver calm and inner peace more effectively than the traditional yoga
mat and sandalwood joss stick."

- Web
connects design students, BBC, 17-Sep-2001
"An innovative programme using interactive learning techniques has allowed architecture

- Surrounded by Sound:
Ingenious software makes ordinary stereo speakers come alive, by Fiona Harvey,
Scientific American, Jan-2002
"Lying on a beach at Devon on the south coast of England in 1990, Alastair Sibbald had
a curious thought. He could hear the seagulls in front of him over the sea and the sheep
behind him on the cliffs, each separate and distinct. How was it, he wondered, that he
could place these sounds so accurately in space? And could a computer program replicate
this three-dimensional aural experience?"
- Audio Time Machine
Recreates Concert Hall Sound, UniSci, 17-Nov-2000
"Chris Kyriakakis calls his invention "the time machine." It can put you
in the front row at Carnegie Hall to hear the Beatles or in a 1940s
ballroom with Tommy Dorsey and Frank Sinatra."

- New Tools for the
Schools, by Katie Dean, Wired.com, 28-Jun-2001
"The National Educational Computing Conference drew 15,000 educators looking for the most
compelling apps. Here's a look at some of the most interesting ones."
- A Gadget Festival for
Teachers, by Katie Dean, Wired.com, 26-Jun-2001
"The economy may be in a slump, but no one would have guessed that from the handouts at
the lavish booths at the National Educational Computing Conference this week. Vendors
plugged in to P.A. systems hawked their products on the exhibit floor, creating a
chaotic din."
and, uh, some squid links...
