Leonard Woolf

This chapter reveals the extent of Virginia Woolf’s knowledge and interest in the Bible, both as text and as artefact, starting with an examination of the collection of Bibles in the Library of Virginia and Leonard Woolf, now housed in Washington State University, Pullman. It situates Woolf’s interests within competing scholarly understandings of the role and significance of the Bible that were in circulation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Making close readings of Woolf’s use of biblical allusion, the chapter demonstrates that Woolf’s responses to the Bible were both complex and varied. These readings include her use of rhetoric in her essays, ‘Modern Fiction’ in particular, and her engagement with the Passion narrative in her novels as a way of exploring questions about salvation.

Immersive Environment

Abstract A 3D menu, also called a virtual menu, is now an accepted method of interaction between the user and the computer in an immersive environment. It adds functionality and allows interactions that are usually difficult to specify through direct interaction. We present the design and methodology of a support system for 3D menu creation and interaction in an immersive environment. Three kinds of virtual menus are supported — a paddle, a static billboard, and a dynamic billboard. These are distinguished by different spatial presentation and interaction paradigms in the virtual environment. The integration of the support system into an immersive environment is presented in the context of engineering applications research at Washington State University. Problems encountered and future planned enhancements are also examined. A clean separation between the virtual menu support system and the application in which the virtual menu will be created and displayed has been maintained.
