In this paper we present a new method of simulation and visualization of smoke and steam clouds in virtual environments. We use a particle system approach but reduce the particle numbers to decrease the computation and rendering times. Special care, however, is taken for the presentation quality of the clouds. From every viewing point (even within the clouds) the VE user will not have the impression that the clouds are hollow polyhedrons, but rather fuzzy objects.

“…Designers cannot directly create or modify CAD models and so when any change or modification is required, they must go back to the conventional CAD modelling systems. Examples of such systems were Virtual Design II (Astheimer et al 1995), ISAAC (Mine 1997) and IVECS (Fadel 1995).…”

Conventional computer aided design (CAD) systems have not provided enough support for conceptual design partly due to the lack of natural and intuitive human Ácomputer interaction. Currently emerging virtual reality (VR) based techniques offer new ways to overcome these obstacles. In this paper, new CAD user interfaces including two-handed operation, haptic interaction, stereoscopic display and auditory feedback are investigated. The contribution of this work is to develop a new direct, natural and intuitive interaction paradigm required to support conceptual design. This paradigm enables designers to take fuller advantage of their visual, auditory and tactile sensorial channels to create, view, touch, hold, manipulate and listen to computer-generated virtual models. This is done more easily and freely in a more realistic three-dimensional (3D) environment through convenient interface device operation. A new conceptual design system called the LUCID system that fully integrates and implements these VR-based innovative interfaces into one design application is presented. As an approach to the next generation of human Á computer interfaces for use in the design activity, the LUCID system has shown particular human computer interface benefits to designers during conceptual design based on the outcome from the user evaluation test.

“…Learning any environment relies on users developing an understanding of space by creating a cognitive map of the environment [1][6] [7][37] [40]. Cognitive maps are mental representations of the space that people develop in order to acquire an understanding of space [18] [19] [42].…”

Learning the spatial layout of an environment is critical to domains including military and emergency personnel training. Training all staff within a real-world space, however, cannot practically be achieved, particularly if space is under-development or potentially unsafe. This paper contributes towards a better understanding of how individual difference factors impact upon the exposure time requirements needed to acquire spatial knowledge from a virtual environment.. The impact of this research is of direct relevance to mulsemedia domain since it shows how individual differences impact information assimilation; showing that user information assimilation, and therefore feedback, must be personalised for individual needs.
