| Forum8 will be holding the 9th 3D-VR Simulation Contest on the last day
of our 3 day Design Festival 2010 in November, 2010. This year's festival
will be held at Tokyo Meguro Gajoen main banquet. We have made a new "UC-win/Road
plug-in award", for this year's contest. Mr. Yoshihiro Kobayashi Prism
Laboratory, Arizona State University will join the judging panel this year
along with a panel of other experienced judges. Due to the increase in
the number of overseas participants, we have decided to take away "overseas

We are looking forward to your participation. |
