Software
- Need modelling tools to create objects
- AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max, MultiGen II, etc.
- Designing objects is time-consuming
- Objects often need to be optimised for VR use
- In some cases (eg scientific visualisation) the objects might be generated by software -- need to provide equations and data to define objects
- To define an interactive virtual environment:
- Import objects (models)
- Define behaviour of objects
- Define motion and interaction model
- Typical Run-time Components
- Real-time visual/audio rendering engine
- Input/Output handling process
- Simulation process
- World database (objects and scripts that define virtual environment)
