VR Screen Capture Images, 1995-1997

Ring Mountain and the Virtual Peninsula were virtual reality simulations that I worked on for Japan's NTT Soft InterSpace project, as a Sense8 consultant. NTT is Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation , the world's largest telecommunications company. Sense8 created the VR software that I used called World Tool Kit and World Up. The NTT Human Interface Laboratories were developing the InterSpace technology in Mill Valley, CA in 1995-96. The Ring Mountain simulation was the first VR project that I worked on.

 

This is a screen shot of the virtual Tower Records inside the Cybercampus. There are four avatars with TV screens. They could see and hear the other avatars in the virtual world. I think it was too far ahead of it's time for the average person.

A company asked me to appear in this advertisement in 1993 and even paid me for it. Click on it for more info about those early years.

My favorite VR simulations were created for the Cordwainer Smith mega-project. Click on the image above. Many (but not all) of the images were captured from the virtual worlds I created from the science fiction stories of Dr. Paul Linebarger, aka Cordwainer Smith. In other words, he wrote incredible stories about very interesting planets of the far future and I "built" them.
