| Project overview | |
This project is in the very early stages of development. The goal is to develop fully-immersive simulation environments for exploring urban phenomena. Thus far, we have developed immersive crowd models that allow the model-user to view the evolving geography of complex crowd behavior from the perspective of a participating member of that crowd. In the movie demonstration shown below, for example, this allows us to show model-users how difficult it can be to navigate dense crowds toward safety in an evacuation scenario. |
