World exposition sanctioned by the International Bureau of Expositions, held in Vancouver 2 May-30 Oct. 1986. The theme, Transportation and Communication, celebrated the centenaires of the founding of Vancouver and the arrival on the Pacific coast of the first passenger train. Fifty-four governments and industries from six continents participated and there were over 22 million individual visits to the site. The commissioner general was Patrick Reid. Located along Vancouver's inner-city waterway, the 70 hectare site featured over 80 pavilions and many indoor and outdoor performance venues, including the Xerox International Theatre, a 1500-seat outdoor amphitheatre; The Big House, a 400-seat theatre of longhouse design; The Barn, a 300-seat proscenium theatre; and the Street of the Expo site on which a street festival took place throughout the exposition's run. The Canadian Pavilion, separate from the main site accessible to visitors by a four--minute ride on Vancouver's new Advanced Light Rapid Transit system, housed five performance spaces including a 500-seat outdoor amphitheatre, the 380-seat Amiga Studio(the exhibition's only enclosed theatre), and the 350-seat Inner Stage. 1, record 2, English, - Expo%2086

Recent work on the perspective display allows computer graphics systems to simulate planned spacecraft maneuvers, allowing pilots to visualize the consequences of a variety of orbital changes.... Up to now, spacecraft maneuvers, even close-in rendezvous, have been very formal, requiring elaborate planning. We’re developing a system that lets you conduct orbital change maneuvers on an informal, short-term basis... The perspective display is now in use at Ames in a full-scale research mock-up of a proximity operations control center for the Space Station. The mock-up includes a number of test technologies including a heads-up(through the window) display, voice-actuated controls and an advanced window design. 2, record 5, English, - orbital%20change
