Issue Highlights

Guest Editors' Introduction
Virtual Reality Software and Technology (pdf)
Ming. C. Lin, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Miguel A. Otaduy, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos
Ronan Boulic, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne

This special issue contains an introductory survey on 3D user interfaces by leading VR authorities and significantly expanded versions of the four best short papers from the proceedings of the 14th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST 07).

Graphically Speaking
From Cells to Cell Processors: The Integration of Health and Video Games (pdf)
Ben Sawyer, Digitalmill
Healthcare offers special opportunities for the application of game research and technology. This was evident in the presentations at the 2007 Games for Health Conference.

Remembering Bert Herzog

Bert Herzog, editor in chief of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications from 1995 to 1999, passed away at his home in Tucson, Arizona on 11 July 2008 after a series of illnesses going back several years. To acknowledge Bert's many contributions to CG&A and to the field of computer graphics, the IEEE Computer Society's new website, Computing Now, is featuring print and online tributes from Bert's colleagues and friends.

September/October 2008 Issue Highlights:

Guest Editors' Introduction
Visualization Research Is Growing and Expanding (pdf)
Kwan-Liu Ma, University of California, Davis
Issei Fujishiro, Tohoku University
Hua Li, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Visualization research is growing and expanding. Among the accepted articles for PacificVis 2008, we invited the authors of five articles to expand them for this issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. These articles highlight the state of the art in visualization algorithms, systems, and applications.

Graphically Speaking
Bringing VR and Spatial 3D Interaction to the Masses through Video Games (pdf)
Joseph J. LaViola Jr., University of Central Florida
We're in the early stages of a revolution in how video games are played. Three-dimensional spatial interaction and VR concepts such as 3D stereo rendering and head tracking will play a crucial role in generations of future video games.
