Integrating perceptual and symbolic information in VR

Abstract

The problem of integrating symbolic and perceptual information becomes more difficult in a fully immersive virtual reality, in which the computer must draw and render the whole visible apparatus in real time. The authors believe that virtual environments should convey the widest possible range of perceptual and symbolic information. They discuss virtual reality as a user interface. To explore the possibilities they create two virtual athletic venues.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
