A model of software development process for virtual environments: definition and a case study

This paper describes a software development process, especially proposed to support the creation of virtual environments and applications. This process follows an iterative approach of software development, which includes different phases, from the requirements definition to the product evaluation, each one comprising a series of activities. The software development process is presented and illustrated by a case study about a virtual environment of a historic museum. The main implementation aspects are presented in detail and the results are discussed.
