Bob Stein has degrees from Columbia and Harvard universities. He has been a consultant to Alan Kay at Atari and to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, before co-founding the Voyager Company in 1984. Since then, Voyager's catalogue of interactive CD-ROM and Laserdisc titles has established it as perhaps the leading publisher of new media.

Voyager's Expanded Books for Apple's PowerBook, launched last year, drew strong praise for the way they managed to respect the original structure of a book while enhancing the overall reading experience with the text-handling capabilities of a computer. "The first significant change in publishing media since the introduction of the paper back in 1939," said one analyst.

Throughout the conference, LBC International demonstrated some of Voyager's interactive titles.
