The work of Wittgenstein was, naturally, subject to intensive review. In the latter session, the use of data visualisation techniques to enhance understanding of scientific concepts was explored while the former session focused primarily on the effective design of user interfaces. Appropriately, the representation of shape in a computer program was reviewed in this session. The workshop closed with a guided tour of the Electronic Art Exhibition of Willie Doherty, courtesy of the Tate Gallery, Liverpool. We believe so from the comments of delegates and from the desire, expressed by various delegates, for a VRI'2000.
Many abstracts contain links to on-line exhibitions and further information about the author's work.
