Automated Generation of Three-Dimensional Virtual Worlds for Task Explanation

Abstract

Our work addresses the combined application of AI techniques and true 3D interaction and display devices to generate knowledge-based virtual worlds. The goal is to develop virtual environments that can explain physical tasks such as those involved in equipment maintenance and repair or training. In our research, we are exploring fundamental issues in the automated design both of self-contained virtual worlds and of augmented reality (in which generated graphics augments the user's view of the real world).
