Professor Bob Stone of the University of Birmingham's HIT Team was recently asked to contribute to PRESENCE's 25th year publication. 

The team at PRESENCE invited selected members of the journal’s original editorial board and authors of several early articles to contribute essays submitted look back on the field of virtual reality, from its very earliest days to the current time.

Professor Stone was delighted to contribute and wrote about some of the fascinating history behind the human factors of VR, he also discussed work that stands out because it travelled the whole way from research to everyday usage as products.

Contact Professor Stone for further information.
