| University of Pisa in 2011, hosted by the assistant professor Fiamma |
In this year, we will have the 4th VR Summer Workshop in University of Pisa (http://www.unipi.it/english/), PISA, Italy from 7/25-28, 2011 follwing the suggestion of Assistant Professor, Paolo Fiamma (University of Pisa). Mr. Fiamma has focused on the public parking in the development project of historical area in Pisa. He has initiated the research, investigating the simulation of people's flow and its effect on traffic using UC-win/Road.
We had the summer workshops in 8/12-14, 2008 in Phoenix, USA, 7/28-31, 2009 in Hakone, Japan, and 7/22-24, 2010 in Santa Barbara, USA. The subsequent research results were presented in the International VR Symposium in the same year. In the International VR Symposium, the researches and projects using VR (UC-win/Road) are presented to contribute to the spread of VR technologies. They have presented a variety of themes including the advanced projects based on their past researches or the projects with new approach. |

We will have a discussion and consideration of the research themes for the International VR Symposium in November.
In addition, we have decided to select the Business Model Projects at this early stage to provide increased support for the symposium. The projects are selected by Mr. Yoshihiro Kobayashi, Arizona State University, from two to five projects are scheduled to be awarded as research fellowship. The service of "UC-win/Road model VR System" which will be released on a near day has been developed based on the idea from Associated Professor, Tomohiro Fukuda, Osaka University through this workshop and the International VR Symposium.Please look forward to the improved technology through the World16 research projects and the related development in the future.
