The ACM Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST) is an annual conference devoted to the technical aspects of virtual reality.

The first VRST was held in Singapore in 1994 and since then it has been held in Japan, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Taiwan, England, Korea, Canada and the United States.

This will be the fourteenth VRST annual conference to be held in Newport Beach, California.

The conference, hosted by the University of California, Irvine, will be held at the Fairmont Newport Beach from November 5 - 7, 2007.

But the fun doesn't stop on the sand! Newport Beach and the surrounding areas are also home to many museums, world-class shopping, delicious dining, challenging golf courses, Disneyland, the Pacific Symphony and the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks NHL hockey team.
