    Virtual Environments Demonstration Guidelines
    
    Demonstrations fall into 3 general categories:
	    * VIP tours/Larry Smarr's visitors
	    * Industrial Partners
	    * Education Outreach
    
    VIP tours:
	These are usually the highest tech demos we have at 
	the moment. The big exhibitors currently are the
	CAVE5D Virtual Director and Caterpillar. These 
	demonstrations are handled by those involved in the
	project like the Virtual Director group.
    
    Industrial Partners:
	This demonstrations range from the simple CAVE application
	to more complex applications. Should a partner like
	Shell come through - applications with emphasis on
	fluid or gas dynamics are shown (Nalco Boiler)
	Vice mambers should present these demonstrations
	becausse these are generally people interested in
	using NCSA'a virtual environments facilities and technological
	questions are frequent.
	
	The Vis group (Bill Sherman, Dave Bock, Volodymyr Kindratenko, Alan
	Craig and Rob Stein) are all adebt at presenting this material.
    
    Education Outreach:
	These are the more difficult demonstrations. Not because
	of complexity rather because they are constant, mundane and can
	involve large numbers of people. The applications
	shown are basic. Aquarium, Cathedral and Crayoland.
	The coordination of these demonstrations should be handled
	by Education Outreach. I have recently trained:
	    Lisa Bievenue bievenue@ncsa.uiuc.edu
	    Jennie File jfile@ncsa.uiuc.edu
	    Phil Heeler@ncsa.uiuc.edu
	    Dave McWilliams davem@ncsa.uiuc.edu
	    Umesh Thakkar uthakkar@ncsa.uiuc.edu
	They are now capable of handling these demonstrations. 
	The demonstrations should also be coordinated through Allison Clark
	For large groups, I insist on breaking them into
	groups of 10 for 15 - 20 minutes each - A group
	of 30 would require an hour of CAVE time.
    
	I recomend that these demonstrations be coordinated by
	Education Outreach and they can devise a system of
	"how many per month" they wish to allow.
