Abstract

A principal problem of interactive 3D VE is the tension between a linear content and the interactive accessibility inside the VE. Addressing this problem the Mindstage project mapped a lecture of the highly acclaimed film designer Christopher Hobbs onto an interactive multi-user VE. The story (our lecture) had to be included in its entirety and be accessible to groups and students for individual study. This paper addresses how we applied spatial design to approach the task and developed the prototype.
