LONDON FINANCIAL FUTURES & OPTIONS EXCHANGE
LIFFE commissioned the development of a system to evaluate trading floor redesign, planning, visualization and evaluation. Using the virtual hand it is possible to point, gesture and change the virtual environment.
This method proved to be the most interactive and rewarding method of control. The system was designed to allow the user complete freedom of movement on the trading floor.
NAGOYA
In Japan, the Nagoya Ecology Centre boasts as its centerpiece, a 48-user Immersive virtual reality network that allows teams of school children to explore a virtual pond and its surrounding environment. By "photographing" the animals and insects that they meet during their travels they can learn about the species and begin to understand the complex interactions between man and his environment.
