Navigational agents for large scale virtual worlds
نویسنده
چکیده
This poster argues for an agent based approach to tackle difficulties users usually experience when navigating in large scale 3D computer virtual environments (CVEs). This view is examined from two different perspectives namely that of solitary and collaborative wayfinding.

In the rapidly developing area of User Interface Design (UID), the existing knowledge and understanding of UID serves as a basis for further research and study of factors affecting users as they interact with interfaces that utilize the technology of multimedia, virtual reality and intelligent agents. Navigation is one of the factors that is being investigated to help designers develop user int...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Mapping and Navigation in VirtualWorlds: Thesis Summary
The prevalence of virtual worlds presents a challenge for intelligent mobile agents. Online, large, persistent virtual worlds such as Second Life and massively multi-player online games are becoming more popular. There is a challenge to provide intelligent agents for these environments that are able to generate and use maps to navigate the world without long delays or a large amount of map pre-...
متن کاملRepresenting and Generating Maps of Large-Scale Virtual Environments for Intelligent Mobile Agents
This paper looks at the challenges and solutions for intelligent mobile agents existing in virtual environments. Representing and using a map of these very large-scale, dynamic environments is a key challenge in providing an autonomous agent for large, online worlds. We look at a method for improving the generation of probabilistic roadmaps by observing and using the movements of other avatars ...
متن کاملNavigation in Electronic Worlds: Research Review for Depth Oral Exam
Navigation is a fundamental human activity. It occurs in a wide range of activities and contexts, and it has accordingly been studied by a range of disciplines. In the social sciences, anthropologists have studied the tools and techniques of different cultures, including Western ones. Psychologists have studied the cognitive structures and processes involved in human navigation. In the field of...
متن کاملScalable real-time animation of rivers
Many recent games and applications target the interactive exploration of realistic large scale worlds. These worlds consist mostly of static terrain models, as the simulation of animated fluids in these virtual worlds is computationally expensive. Adding flowing fluids, such as rivers, to these virtual worlds would greatly enhance their realism, but causes specific issues: as the user is usuall...
