------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SLICE OF LIFE WORKSHOP: A WORKSHOP ON INTERACTIVE VIDEO AND RELATED MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH EDUCATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JUNE 23-26, 1993 UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA Dear Colleague: Thanks to our hosts, the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, we have this year left Salt Lake City to Bring the Slice of Life workshop closer to many users and developers. The excellent facilities and equipment in Charlottesville permit us to keep costs low and still have over 40 demonstrations and 20 platform presentations. We invite you to join us for the fourth "Slice of Life" workshop for contributors, users, and potential collaborators on the "Slice of Life" and "Slice of Brain" videodiscs. Slice of Life is now in its 6th edition with over 38,500 images from 200 people at over 50 institutions. It is in over 500 institutions. We are very excited to bring all of these people together on the east coast in order to improve communication and software production. While the focus is on Slice of Life, you will see from the program that we are also experimenting with other image formats. If you are not on the program you are invited to "show and tell" in the Hospitality Suite of the Omni International Hotel, Room 225 hosted by Sony Corp. and Sandoz Pharm. This is not a meeting. It is a workshop. You will never work or play harder. Get your batteries charged after a hard academic year with this exciting group of people. Past attendees comment that one of the greatest byproducts of this small informal gathering is the speed with which everyone becomes acquainted and feels welcome and involved whether novices or experts. This results in networking and sharing that goes on the rest of the year. Another additional benefit this year is the hands on workshop. You will receive a program binder with information about all the demonstrations as well as special gifts. We hope that for all, or some, of these reasons you will want to register. Please make our job easier by registering early, so we can prepare for you. Register before June 1, 1993 - 175 $ U.S.; Late Registration $200. Includes Breakfast, Lunch and Coffee and Social Hours.
