The Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society For Information Science 
& Technology invites you to a breathtaking demonstration of the ...

      		UCLA Visualization Portal

This new $2 million facility is an immersive virtual reality theater 
that supports researchers and faculty in their use of visualization, 
multimedia, high-performance computing, and networking technologies. It 
is currently the only academic facility of its kind in the West. The 
Portal has a 160x40-degree spherical screen that allows 3-D objects and 
virtual environments to be viewed with stereographics, localized and 
surround sound, tracking, and interactive object manipulation.
 
During this demo you will be virtually transported back in time to 
a 3-D recreation of an ancient city, and forward in time to an 
architect's vision of a 21st century building. You will see how stunning 
discoveries in medicine and science have come to fruition using the 
Portal's cutting edge capabilities. For more information about the 
Portal, see http://www.oac.ucla.edu/portal/default.htm
