Project Details

Immersive, two-user system for creating 3D models based upon changes. 
 
An active "designer" and independent "client" work within a virtual design environment. A virtual interface includes a full featured toolbox. The display is a head-mounted display, six-degree-of-freedom mouse, and audio. 
 
This immersive environment allows remote collaboration of multiple participants to achieve mutual construction goals.
