- Description: Immersive virtual reality (VR) places the user inside of the computing envi-ronment, blurring the distinction between the environment itself and the user interface to access that environment non-obvious. This lack of distinction between environment and interface makes it difficult to place menus and other interface elements where the user is both able to access them easily and where they do not obscure large parts of the users field of view. We propose a system called the 'Virtual Remote Control' (VRC). The VRC con-sists of a physical device (a small touchpad tracked using a Polhemus In-sideTrak magnetic tracker) which the user is able to hold and for which there is a representation in the virtual environment. The VRC is represented in the environment by a virtual menu. The user is able to make selections from the virtual menu by moving their finger around the touch pad part of the VRC and 'tapping' on the required action. Additionally, the user is able to select an object for the action to be applied on, by 'pointing' the representa-tion of the VRC at the object-as one would point a remote control at a Hi-fi of TV set.

- Description: The Winters Tale is an extraordinarily elusive play. My contention in this paper" is that, just as Hamlet became the Shakespearean drama for the nineteenth century, and King Lear spoke deeply to the twentieth centu-ry, so it may well be that The Winters Tale will take centre stage for the new millennium. We used to know what the play was about in an easy, non-problematic fashion. It was about repentance and reconciliation; it was about the cycle of the seasons; it was about the Pandosto sub-title,“The Triumph of Time"; later, it became a tricksy celebration of con-tention between Art and Nature (despite the considerable discomfort inflicted upon the dramatis personae), an experiment in the new genre of tragicomedy, or a glittering theatrical tour de force–a romance, but heartless and rather empty. I would maintain that beneath all such read-ings is the assumption that the play is really “a winter's tale': a some-what inconsequential yarn suitable for whiling away a cold evening round the fireside, a view often infused with some lingering taint of the Edwardian view that Shakespeare had “gone sloppy” in his technique."
