Foil 3 What Is Televirtuality?

From Televirtual Environments -- Technologies and Application SC95 Tutorial on Web Technologies -- December 4,95. by NPAC Team * See also color IMAGE

We refer by this name to Multi-user Interactive Immersive/Sensory Collaboratory On the Internet
Other popular names are:
  • Cyberspace (more general, includes also current Web)
  • Gibson's Matrix (science-fiction ultimate vision of global interconnect)
Term "Televirtuality" coined by the "traditional" Virtual Reality community (Bob Jacobson, Worldesign, Inc.) as the ultimate limit of broadband based network VR.
Not clear if this name is optimal and if it will survive but we like the acronym TVR (as it integrates Television and Virtual Reality).
The popular belief is that Televirtuality represents the ultimate medium for mass communication and active telepresence in virtual environments on the Internet
