Visual Tools in Virtual Reality: Complex Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we analyse an integrated system able to merge graphical and vision technique in order to improve virtual space environment. Virtual space is characterized by Dynamic Visual Icons and Virtual Reality for arising a hererogeneous environment. Essentially, we propose a fusion technique between visual icon and virtual space, where their integration is supported by Visual lcon Grammar (VIG) working on Dynamic lcon and Visual World. VIG allows to test the actions of the Dynamic Icon on the active Visual Word metaphor at the lime "t", and the different rage of transactions between user and VW(visual query, view and brows of under-world,... ). Moreover, user can define, modify and remove actions related to one or more VW and DVL Given the big dimension of DVI's information, the complexity of visual spaces and the multiple integration between them, we need a machine oriented to information's fusion; We will analyze the performance of this complex environment through a machine named M-VIF[DiGes93] in which the information's fusion is the main aim, moreover this machine is based on a Heterogeneous and Reconfigurable Machine for lmage Analysis(HERMIA)[DiGes92].
