They are undertaking this task in collaboration with UIC's Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL). EVL Director Thomas DeFanti considers his appointment as NCSA visiting associate director for Virtual Environments a formalization of the EVL-NCSA collaboration ongoing since 1986.
"It is also much like the National MetaCenter in that it
draws on the strengths of each collaborator," he says. "NCSA
brings supercomputing and networking expertise, while EVL
brings interactive graphics expertise."
NCSA faculty, staff, and students in VEG, some of whom work in other groups as well, include Ulrike Axen, Polly Baker, Robin Bargar, Tony Baylis, Donna Cox, Alan Craig, Kelly Fitz, George Francis, Ping Fu, Camille Goudeseune, Chris Hartman, Vincent Jurgens, Mark Lumos, Bill Sherman, Jeff Terstriep, Mark Washburn, Daniel Weber, and Erik Wesselak.
