The Dennos Museum Center in cooperation the Beckman Institute of the University of Illinois - Urbana Champagne presents CANVAS where mathematical equations become art in a 3-D virtual world. A CANVAS (Collaborative Advanced Navigation Virtual Art Studio) is a room-sized immersive 3D environment with origins in CAVE technology from the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Chicago. It is scalable, reconfigurable display technology for modern art museums and is not intended as a work itself but as an environment to facilitate the creation and display of immersive art works. CANVAS is collaborative because it can be connected to an array of geographically dispersed immersive virtual spaces, has advanced navigation to allow viewers in different locations to interact with virtual art and allows for the creation and presentation of virtual art that exists not in two or three-dimensional space like a painting or sculpture but in the multi-dimensional virtual world.

TV TRAVERSE CITY: Hello and thank you for watching this special edition of the inside scoop on TVTRAVERSECITY.com. Today we are talking about Automobile History - about Antique Cars - to be specific and with us in the studio today we have the former Chief Judge of the Le Circle Concours d'Elegance in Los Angeles, Mr. Bill Schutz. Thank you for being on the program! Bill Schutz: Thank you, Franz. TV TRAVERSE CITY: When talking about Antique Cars, what time period are we looking at? Bill Schutz: As far as the Official Clubs would rule, the Horseless Carriage Club would say that any car built from the beginning of cars, approximately 1892 up until 1915. Then the next class would be Vintage Cars which would be 1915 to approximately 1925. And then the Classic Era of Cars would go from 1925 to 1947. There are also several other classifications of cars such as Vintage, Special Interest, High Performance and Sports Cars. They all fit into the different time periods.
