                        Opening greeting of FORUM8 Design Festival 2011-3Days 
                         
                        Firstly, we would like to express our sincere condolences for all those
                        who have been affected by the devastating earthquake occurred on March
                        11. We sincerely hope that this area will recover and be reconstructed
                        as soon as possible. 
                  FORUM8 will hold "Design Festival 2011-3Days". We have faced
                  a number of difficulties from the earthquake disaster this year but we
                  have gradually begun to see positive signs in such difficult conditions.
                  Your continuing support and encouragement have been instrumental in that.
                  In "Design Festival 2011", we plan to hold a variety of events
                  like last year. On Day1, "10th 3D VR Simulation contest on cloud"
                  will be held at Tokyo head office, and each award will be selected. From
                  November 8 to 14, the works can be checked via VR-Cloud(TM) with Internet
                  connection, and the public voting will be conducted. 
                        "VR Conference"(12th UC-win/Road Conference, 5th International
                        VR Symposium) will be held on Day2 and "Design Conference" will
                        be held on Day3 at Shinagawa front building. 
                        We have invited many lecturers from home and abroad. In addition, we believe
                        that the members of World16 will provide the presentation on the latest
                        VR research in the International VR Symposium. We are also planning a variety
                        of exciting and fulfilling contents including our new product UC-win/Road
                        Ver.6, VR-Cloud(TM) Ver.2 to be released soon, Analysis support services,
                        3D engineering services, high-performance computing 
                        on cloud services, 6K cluster digital signage system, the latest driving
                        simulator, and the book launch/networking party. We look forward to making
                        this exciting event a reality and hope that you too are eager to be involved.
