Description
Summary:We take a glimpse at three unique intelligent virtual worlds. We want to give some sense of the diversity, richness and exciting possibilities offered by interactive artificial worlds. First we present Menagerie, a project from Telepresence Research that was an early effort to develop an interactive virtual world that responded to the user's activities in real time. Menagerie was also the first immersive virtual environment experience to be exhibited in a major public art museum. Secondly, we present Rebecca Allen's virtual environment framework, Emergence. This system generates an active, responsive, networked virtual world that provides the basis for an artistic installation piece entitled. And finally, we are always looking for interesting projects and ideas to present in future columns.
