Open House (Thursday
and Sunday)
 Jeremy
Bailenson, head of the
Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford, will be offering
AC2004 attendees two open house tours of his lab at Stanford
University.
The two
events are Thursday, November 4th, 6-8 PM
and Sunday, November 7th, 6-8pm.
Most demos
are one at a time activities, and the VHI Lab can accommodate
up to 15 people. If more than 15 show up there will be a signup
sheet, and the tour will last a half hour. Those on the signup
sheet will be asked to return a half hour later (a trip to
Stanford bookstore can keep you busy!). If there are less
than 15, you are welcome to stay the entire time. All
of those converging at the lab at 8pm are invited
to join us for a fun no-host dinner off campus.
AC2004
attendees with easy access to the Stanford area are encouraged
to come on Thursday and demo lab projects
such as this
and these
in an informal, personalized environment. Jeremy is a great
mind in the field of virtual reality and mediated social interaction,
and this is a rare opportunity to experience the state-of-the-art
in those technologies while conversing directly with one of
the field's research leaders.
Directions:
The VHI Lab is located in Building 120, McClatchy
Hall, Room 453. (450 Serra Mall, facing the Oval at the
top of Palm Drive). Outside doors will locked, but an undergraduate
volunteer will be available at the front (East) door.
Sunday
evening's tour will be a reprise (including no-host dinner
after) for those who missed it on Thursday.
Jeremy
will also be speaking
on his fascinating research at Accelerating Change 2004. Visit
the lab website for a list of his recent publications.
