| Abstract(in English) | This paper describes navigation and manipulation methods in a virtual nature environment. We propose a technique to use a "birds eye" overview display of entire large-scale virtual environment. It enables user to navigate efficiently even in enormous and complicated environments. A user is able to maintain a sense of relative size compared with his body in the immersed virtual environment. Multiple overview images taken by virtual cameras at multiple viewpoints and scales efficiently assists the user to obtain accurate spatial perception of the virtual environment. Moreover, a user can efficiently manipulate virtual objects in enormous and complicated environments through both life-size images and "birds eye" overview images. Promising results in a virtual nature environment implemented on a graphics workstation show the possibility of our proposed system. |
