Collaborative
virtual environments are commonly a means of joining together diverse
people and ideas from all over the world into a single common space
for shared experiences. Often, groups will exhibit several artworks
together and thus require some way to be sub-divided into seperate areas
accessible from a main entranceway. Therefore, participants to these
virtual worlds are presented with "Confluxus", an architectural
portal that acts as a gateway to these other worlds. Confluxus reacts
to the positions and movements of the users within it by revealing only
the parts of the structure that are within users' proximity. Within
this space, the participants can see each others' avatars leaving trails
from their wake in the 3D architectural grid. From here, participants
are encouraged to move to one of the other project rooms. |
