Abstract
In this, the third of three sets of position papers for the CTG-CSTG co-sponsored symposium on Computers and Telecommunications in the Year 2000, the authors provide us with a description of the future in two relatively new areas - virtual reality and intelligent transportation systems. In the first of the two papers, Kay M. Stanney and Robert S. Kennedy describe the performance efficiency, health and safety, and social issues that virtual technology will have to resolve, if virtual environments are to become commercially viable. In the second paper, William Yurcik describes the planned components of smart cars and smart highways, as well as the barriers we currently face in deploying associated intelligent transportation systems.
