Please subscribe to comp.graphics.visualization if you are interested.
This new group started to serve the needs of the visualization
community.  I know this is not all of you, but many of you do use
high-end workstations like SGI and are doing sci viz.

(virtual reality content)
If the creation of massive data sets from science requires advanced
interaction and visualization techniques to analyse and comprehend, can
scientific data provide a practical testbed for VR techniques?

Philosophically, is sci.viz a subset of VR?   What techniques in VR are
applicable to sci.viz.  What does the global research community LOOK like?
