ICNN97 TOURS
______________________________________________________
TOUR #1: Space Center Houston
TOUR #2: Moody Gardens
TOUR #3: Theater Museum Districts
TOUR #4: Virtual Environment Technology Laboratory
______________________________________________________
TOUR #1: Space Center Houston
A state-of-the-art education and entertainment complex designed by Walt
Disney Imagineering. The magical adventure begins in Space Center Plaza
where a space shuttle mock up welcomes you. Exhibits and demonstrations let
you land a space shuttle by computer simulation, touch a real moon rock, and
listen to communications between Mission Control and astronaut crews on
board the space shuttle. In Destiny Theater, relive the great moments of the
space program in the film "On Human Destiny." Adjacent to the complex is
Johnson Space Center (JSC), home to the famed Mission Control Center and
Rocket Park, the outdoor home of retired flight hardware too huge to house
indoors. There will be a technical tour to JSC by NASA engineers. For the
technical tour the attendees must be either US citizen or permanent resident.
______________________________________________________
TOUR #2: Moody Gardens
Traveling to the Rainforest Pyramid at Moody Gardens in Galveston is an
ultimate treat. Housing a tropical rainforest with waterfalls, cliffs and
caverns, the 10-story glass pyramid, open daily, holds more than 2,000
species of exotic plants, animals, tropical fish and butterflies. Also on
the grounds are the 3-D IMAX Theater, the white sand Palm Beach, the Colonel
Paddlewheel Boat, the fascinating Bat Cave, and acres of lush gardens to
explore.
______________________________________________________
TOUR #3: Theater Museum Districts
Flocked by striking, contemporary architecture of downtown Houston, the
Theater District covers ten square blocks of the city's central business
district and is home to five of the country's most innovative performing
arts companies. The Museum District, a lovely oak-lined area near Hermann
Park an the Texas Medical Center, is anchored by the Museum of Fine Arts,
the Contemporary Arts Museum, the Children's Museum of Houston, the nearby
Menil Collection and the Museum of Natural Science. Two intriguing new
museums to the area are the Holocaust Museum and the Museum of Health and
Medical Science.
______________________________________________________
TOUR #4: Virtual Environment Technology Laboratory
The Virtual Environment Technology Laboratory (VETL) is a joint enterprise
of the University of Houston and NASA/Johnson Space Center. The laboratory's
objectives include research and development activities utilizing virtual
environments in (1) scientific/ engineering data visualization, (2)
training, and (3) education. With a complement of over three million dollars
in high performance computing and display equipment, and this region's only
CAVE (a cube, ten feet on a side, with four display surfaces for total
immersion), the VETL is advancing the state-of-the-art in virtual
environment technology. The VETL is capable of displaying the visual
components of virtual environments via monitors, stereoscopic head-mounted
displays (HMDs), and projection displays. Demonstrations will include
interactive immersive virtual environments in the CAVE and Flogiston
"flostation" as well as 3-D modeling.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE VENUE
The Conference will be held in the Westin Galleria Hotel, located in The
Galleria complex, a glass enclosed entertainment/shopping center with over
350 retail stores in the heart of uptown Houston. Houston, Texas is
America's fourth largest city and is also the capital of the international
energy industry, the largest international port in North America, and the
headquarters for America's Mann Space Flight Effort. Houston is also home of
the world's largest medical center--a burgeoning Mecca of multicultural arts
which also defines the colorful nature of this city.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
Houston boasts two major international airports: Houston Intercontinental
and Hobby. Houston Intercontinental Airport is the eighth largest airport
system in the United States for international travel. It has three modern
terminals connected by a state-of-the-art subway system. Hobby Airport
offers full US and regional service with easy access to all parts of the city.
Travel is very convenient, with many non-stop flights and easy connections
from other major cities, as Houston is a hub for many airlines. ICNN
attendees will find that flexible flight schedules and low fares await them
in Houston. For special discounted rates, contact Nationwide Travel at (714)
847-1788. Be sure to identify yourself as an IEEE ICNN 97 attendee.
Round trip shuttle bus service to both airports is available through Airport
Express, which provides passenger pick-up and drop-off at both the Westin
Galleria and The Westin Oaks Hotels. The cost of a one-way fare to Houston
Intercontinental Airport is $16.00, and the airport is approximately 25
miles from the Galleria area. A flat rate taxi fare is $35.00 each way to
Houston Intercontinental Airport. Approximate travel time is one hour.
The one-way shuttle bus fare to Hobby Airport is $11.00. Hobby Airport is
approximately 20 miles from the Galleria area and taxi fare is $26.00 each
way. Approximate travel time is 45 minutes.
Service to both airports funs every hour on the hour, from 5:30am to 7pm
from the hotel. Reservations are required only for your return trip to the
airport from the hotel.
