an advisory group don´t steer it advices, and as Gert said we don´t have to
follow their advice if we disagree.

> Games
> Audio simulation
> Animation / visual efects
> VR
> Architectiual visualization

just about the same as gert listed i think.

for instance a person as Dan Sandin, EVL, knows a lot about games, audio
simulation, animation and visual effects one of the founders of the whole
VR area and he has a huge contact network both in the US, Japan and what
he doesn´t know he has contacts that know. if people like him is
interested it is worth gold both from an advice perspective and from an
ambassador perspective. the same goes for Sheldon Brown....

in my opinion it must be better having an continuous advisory group than
having a couple of meetings at Siggraph.

well could not help giving this comments :-) i am letting go of this now.

cheers
