[I post this for my sister, the editor of the special issue, who does 
 not have access to the net.]

The magazine "Transition: discourse on architecture" an Australian 
magazine of architectural discourse is looking for submissions for 
a special issue on Virtual Reality.  "Transition" is a non-profit 
theoretical architecture magazine that publishs four 100-page issues a year.

Submissions are solicited for articles describing Virtual Reality and 
tackling questions about VR. These questions include, but are not 
restricted to

  --- What is VR ?
  --- How does/will VR work, and what are the enabling technologies ?
  --- What are the envisaged applications of VR ?
  --- How will VR change our soceity/culture in the long term ?
  --- What are the aesthetics of VR ?
  --- How will VR alter our perceptions of space ?

The articles need not have any direct reference to architecture, but 
should preferably be of a philosophical nature.

Short submissions suitable for a compilation are also acceptable.

For more information email me (pjs@cs.mu.oz.au), or mail to
