Trendsetting in virtual reality vs how to cope the daily reality

Invited by Editor-in-chief Dr. Szilárd Szabó a special meeting was hosted by VÁTI today in order to listen a summary given by Dr. Balázs Rátai of Carneades Consulting on "virtual reality" which will be one of the main topic of the Journal's next issue. The first impressions and feedbacks on the electronic version called terinformatika-online (http://www.terinformatika-online.hu/ ) was also discussed by representatives of HUNGIS and HUNAGI as well as companies Térképtár and CData.
Referring on the operating Térinformatika - HUNAGI cooperation, recommendation was made to use the Journal's capabilities e.g. to disseminate information and generate feedback from the users on the legislative framework developments in the EU, which will be binding for all players both in domestic and European dimension. Representative of the Hungarian GI Association mentioned, HUNAGI might be potential partner in seeking the opportunities to launch a Hungarian GIS/GI Yearbook (for 2008).
(N.B. The length of the HUNAGI newsblog posts in Hungarian language of the past 18 months reached 300 pages. The files (including the English version) could be offered by HUNAGI to form a separate chapter in the Almanach called: Mirroir of the Annual Activities as seen by HUNAGI. http://www.hunagi8.blogspot.com/ )
