Where are the Women

To the Editor:

Where are the Women? I think that is a stupid question. Haven't you got any better questions to ask. We (women) are doing very well thank you. Are you afraid you are missing out on something?

To the Editor:

Thanks for the nice article. I'm a female working with a room full of male programmers in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia . I build vr worlds using Java and vrml 2.0. I seem to have an advantage over some world builders because of my artistic background. I'm a sculptor with a Masters degree in visual arts so working in 3d is no problem. I'm starting my own company called virtual DNA. Dynamic neural agents. I am hiring 3 female artists and a few c++ programmers.

A Few Technical Questions

To the Editor:

I can't view a VRML 2.0 file with my browser (Netscape Navigator 3.0with Live3D plug-in). Is this normal??? What can I do ???

Editor: Unfortunately, it is perfectly normal. Live3D is not yet VRML 2.0 compliant and everyone is waiting with baited breath. In the meantime, check this month's article on the VRML Basics for answers to these types of questions.

To the Editor:

I am trying something within a VRML 1.0 file and would like to know if it is possible: I want to make it so that when you click an object, the object starts to rotate or something similar. Any way of doing this in VRML 1.0?

Editor: Not in VRML 1.0, but it is possible in VRML 2.0. Check out our article on the VRML Basics.

Kudos

To the Editor:

Thanks again for the great article on VRML's Finest. We look forward to more issues.

To the Editor:

We would normally be interested in contributing tutorials and articles on scripting in order to share the extensive knowledge we have obtained and implemented which was shown at Siggraph 96 in the Digital Bayou. However, we are extremely disappointed in your magazine's coverage of that event having excluded our Virtual Society booth completely from your article though it was one of the coolest implementations of multi-user VRML 2.0 ever seen. Curiously, in her 1500 allotted words your reporter covered many non-VRML displays such as Alice and Virtuality. Since Intel's Moondo was mentioned and that booth was in close proximity to our own, I would very much appreciate a clarification on why our work was not deemed pertinient to or worthy of note in your article.
