My name is Satoshi Konno. I was born in 1972, I live in Tokyo, Japan. Programming Virtual Reality systems and applications was my bussiness. Please check my journal if you want to know my latest news :-)

Cyber Garage, cybergarage.org, is my personal domain name in Japan, I maintain the domain servers with a 128K access line and a ISDN which has two 64K lines at my home in 1996. CyberKogaei, cyber,koganei.tokyo.jp, was my old personal domain name from 1994 to 1996, and the domain servers was run as a UUCP site.

I have been loved programming from childhood. My first computer is Fujitsu Micro New 7, FM-New 7. FM-New7 is a 8bit computer which has two 6809 chip sets. Then I used some good Janpenese original computers, NEC PC-9801, FM-TOWNS, Sharp X1, X68000 etc. I use IBM-PC compatible computers now, but it is too bad that there are not good Japanese original computers recentrly.

I started on a wire-frame based 3D programming with FM-BASIC on FM-New 7, I would create a good 3D engine like Wizardry :-) . I started on  programming a real 3D engine with GNU g++ and gas or QuickC for Windows on FM-TOWNS. I have done the porting of the 3D engine on Macintosh LC III with Think C, finally on PowerMacintosh 6100/60AV with Code Warrior, but I have not been develop the engine yet. Because I can use 3D engines like OpenGL or Java3D now, I don't have to develop the engine myself. X-<

Recentrly, I have interest in low-end VR platforms like VRML and Java3D, and  I would like to program any the exciting libraries or applications into the world. :-)
