VR 2012 tutorial proposal title: An in-depth introduction to virtual reality programming

This tutorial introduces basic programming concepts particular to virtual reality. The presentation progresses step-by-step from a very simple world with no interactions (apart from physical immersion), and continues to add features related to 3D user interfaces, interactive rendering and interesting ways to travel through virtual worlds. The presentation includes the opportunity for audience members to follow along with software on their laptops, though the tutorial will also be valuable for those who wish to expressly follow the lectures.
