The Virtual Environments Group was formed at Georgia Tech in 1993 and has moved with me from there to UNC-Charlotte and now makes its home at Clemson University.  I have had the privilege to work with a number of smart and motivated students, postdocs and visiting researchers over my career. Without them, not much would have gotten done!
