ABSTRACT0204372Michael GleicherU of Wisconsin-MadisonAs the dangers of our world become more apparent, and our desire to prepare for them increases, there is agrowing need for virtual experiences: simulated environments that convey to a participant the sense that theyare in a situation, not just a place. A virtual experience can provide an opportunity to explore a situation thatis too dangerous to rehearse, too impractical to create, or too inconvenient to attend. They may be used fortraining, for example to give first hand experience to emergency response personnel in directing panickedcrowds; for design, for example to determine how people interact with a space before it is constructed; orfor entertainment. The key to a virtual experience is that they combine environment and situation. Simplycreating a visually compelling virtual environment is insufficient.Our vision is to use compelling virtual experiences in training, research and entertainment. To be effec-tive in these applications, virtual environments must be authored to meet specific pedagogical and commu-nicative goals. Realizing this vision, therefore, requires technologies for both simulating and rendering theworlds and enabling an author to specify behavior effectively.

威斯康星-麦迪逊的Michael Gleicheru随着我们世界的危险变得越来越明显，我们为之做准备的愿望也越来越强烈，人们对虚拟体验的需求也越来越大：模拟环境向参与者传达他们身处一种情况，而不仅仅是一个地方的感觉。虚拟体验可以提供一个机会来探索这样一种情况：太危险而不能排练，太不切实际而无法创造，或者太不方便参加。它们可用于培训，例如为应急人员提供引导恐慌人群的第一手经验；用于设计，例如在空间建成前确定人们如何与其互动；或用于娱乐。虚拟体验的关键是它们将环境和情境结合在一起。简单地创建一个视觉上引人注目的虚拟环境是不够的。我们的愿景是在培训、研究和娱乐中使用引人注目的虚拟体验。为了在这些应用程序中发挥作用，虚拟环境必须满足特定的教学和交流目标。因此，实现这一愿景需要模拟和渲染世界的技术，并使作者能够有效地指定行为。
