AG Demonstrations at SC00 (fwd)

[Frances L VanScoy]

I was subscribed to the ag-tech list this Friday so am coming in to the
middle of this discussion.  However,
Terry Disz told us about this when three of us from West Virginia
University were at Argonne for AG training last week.

If we have our node in place by then :-) the West Virginia Virtual
Environments Lab would be very willing to demo some of our research over
the grid. To add variety to your program, we could do some things that
aren't all that visual.
	(1) we do some work in sonification which we could demo	
	(2) if you could have a PHANToM on the convention floor we
		could do a "remote handshake" from one of our PHANToMs 
		to yours

Great idea.  We probably need at least one site on the floor, though, that 
has a few chairs for folks to watch these.  If we do this, we ought to 
publicize a mini-tutorial schedule.

If we did this right, we could have a "roving reporter" with a wireless 
network card and a wearble computer who could interview folks.  I've got a 
couple of NT wearables that we could use.
