This conference will focus on virtual reality (VR) concepts and technologies. VR systems integrate visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli to create model-based environments that can be experienced and manipulated by users. Application of virtual reality environments include combat modeling and battlefield simulators, medical applications, manufacturing systems design, robotics, and scientific visualization. In addition, traditional simulation environments can be greatly enhanced in their user-interface capabilities with VR techniques. A special feature will be the application of VR simulation environments to management of large-scale ecosystems processes.
