Building Virtual Worlds

Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center Presents:

"Building Virtual Worlds"

Wednesday, December 7th 5:00pm, Followed by a Reception with Free Food McConomy Auditorium, University Center Hosted by Randy Pausch and Jesse Schell

This semester, 50 students with backgrounds in Art, Architecture, Design, Drama, Computer Science, Engineering, English, HCI, Music, Philosophy, and Psychology took an Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) course where they worked in small teams to build interactive Virtual Reality Worlds. We would like to share with the campus community the "best of the best" -- a demonstration of the beauty, cleverness, creativity, humor, and hard work that has characterized this course and its talented students.

Lasting approximately an hour, this exhibition will show a number of short Virtual Reality Worlds and other interactive pieces (for some, the *audience* will get to control the action!) The Exhibition will be followed by a reception where audience members can talk directly with the students, and enjoy refreshments.

We hope to see you there!

NOTE: In previous years the show has filled to capacity, so it would be prudent to arrive by 4:30 to ensure a seat.
