Robert Grainger, manager of the show, said this year will also see the continuation of the software center, which provides fadlities for small software developers to demonstrate their products without the expense of bringing in hardware and booth materials. A "pen-based technology village" will include demonstrations of "the latest developments in p e n -based computing," Grainger said. At a preview press conference, reporters were treated to a demonstration of virtual reality technology that promises to be a crowd-pleaser at the show. A pair of units put together by Toront~ a sed Virtuality Canada allow two players to battle in a ahnple simulated environment. Standing on small, railed platforms,
players have their movements recorded by an electronic belt and see their surroundings and their opponents on a helmet-like display. Visitors to the Canadian Computer Show will be able to play the game, which was also on display at the recent Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Conference coordinator Karen Dalton outlined highlights of this year's conference. They include keynote speakersJim Manzi, president and chief executive of Lotus Development; Hamid Mirza, vicepresident and chief database architect at Borland International; and Theresa Myers, p resident a n d c h i e f e x e c utive o f Quarterdeck OfBce Systems. Manzi will talk about groupware, Mirza about objectwriented programmirig, and Myers about advanced softwaretechnology. Gordon Eubanks, president and chief executive of Symantec, will speak about computer security on the first morning. Other conference highlights include an address by Frank Clegg, president of Microsoft Canada, on software piracy, and one by Paul Kennedy, president of International Data Corp. (Canada) on "the disnntegration of the information technology industry." Show visitors can preregister for C$11 or pay $20 at the door. The full threeAay conference costs $595, with certain portions available separately for lower fees. Contact: Industrial Trade and Consumer Shows, 418-252-7791, fax 418-252-9848.
