Every page on the site has been upgraded and enhanced to facilitate the new Netscape1.1 as well as browsers with limited image handling abilities. The OMNIBUS:EYE Project is our vision of the future for the production and study of digital media upon the world-wide network including the creation and anthologizing of "transpixins"(digital movies viewed over the internet). We have modeled our site upon our own diverse department which is involved with all aspects of media creation and study. The OMNIBUS:EYE site is dedicated to providing a source of and connection to all types of WWW media-related resources. ------------------------------- FEATURES of the OMNIBUS:EYE Site: ------------------------------- The !PIXIN(*)COMPENDIUM! <http://www.rtvf.nwu.edu/Omnibus/CompendiumTOC.html> A project to anthologize and promote the art of transpixins.
