In general, the use of VE (Virtual Environment) systems has required users to travel to specialized facilities in which an expensive infrastructure has been pre-installed. Often these facilities allow only one user at a time, and users usually move through virtual worlds by means of an artificial interface device or a movement metaphor. In short, most VR facilities are centralized, specialized, and...
With increasing proliferation of virtual environments for serious work as well as play, we are confronted by new challenges pertaining to how such environments can be leveraged to promote and induce effective work performance. In terms of organization and management, we are challenged further by decisions regarding which work activities to perform in virtual environments versus their physical counterparts;...
On-a-slant village was inhabited by the Mandan, a sedentary native north American tribe, up until the late18th century. The on-a-slant "virtual village" has been constructed by the Worldwide Web Instructional Committee at North Dakota State University using archaeological records and other source materials to authenticallyre-create that space with 3D-rendered graphics. The environment now...
One of the main focuses in immersive virtual environment research is traveling techniques. A traveling technique depends primarily on the tasks needed to be performed as well as the device(s) used to accomplish a given task. In this paper we examine the potential of a relatively new and inexpensive device introduced in the gaming industry that revolutionized the way 3D games are played. We developed...
