Hyper-navigation in virtual buildings

The virtual reality (VR) user interface style allows the user to manipulate virtual objects in a 3D environment. A software architecture which guides users in virtual worlds is introduced. The architecture is based on the concept of task-oriented agents which support users in acting within a virtual environment (VE). These agents use an application independent toolbox, the hyper-renderer, to retrieve information that is calculated during the rendering process. A virtual building is used to implement various prototypes in order to evaluate this approach.<
