Emulation of Human Attention for Exploration of Virtual Architectural Environments. Application to Le Corbusier’s Promenade Architecturale of a Virtual Ville Savoye

Abstract

This paper describes the use of Paseante, an autonomous agent for real-time assisted navigation inside virtual environments. In order to carry out its implementation, theories of human attention and environmental psychology were considered. This work describes the application of the system for the emulation of one of the mythical experiences of the theory and history of Architecture: La Promenade Architecturale inside the Ville Savoye.
