PUBLIC NAME RELEASE 10April07

As a scientist we like to name things according to their function and Peripheral Active Immersion is exactly one of those types of names. The prototype name is not suitable for the general public for a variety of reasons. The new name is "Pipe" or "The Pipe." In new media we never deal with air or fluid flow through physical pipes.....until now. This is the definitive difference in this device and for now on I will refer to the "capsule" as the "Pipe."

IU's Advanced Visulaization Lab has written the commitment agreement and as soon as we can get together and sign it the Pipe will be moved into the School of Informatics. This will provide me with ample space to finish the development of the Pipe system. A Pipe logo will be posted soon.

Thank you,
Chauncey Frend
