This book offers the systems developer practical advice on how state-of-the-art techniques may best be applied in the design of interactive systems. It adresses three key aspects of virtual environments: the human- computer interface, parametric image generation and interactive image manipulation. Leading developers of interaction and image display methods report on the results of projects being undertaken at major virtual reality research centres and in new industrial products. They cover topics such as virtual office environments, complex image manipulation, the design of 3D clothes for virtual actors, simulating the behaviour of virtual actors, collaborative design and flight simulation.
