| summary |
This paper outlines the interdisciplinary nature, collaborative work
patterns and role of aesthetics in the Cuthbert Hall Virtual College
research project at the Cambridge University Moving Image Studio
(CUMIS) and the Centre for Applied Research in Education Technology
(CARET). The project identifies key properties of dramatically
engaging real-time three-dimensional virtual environments (RT 3D VE)
and how the holistic experiential phenomenon of place is organised and
mediated through spatial narrative patterns. Interdisciplinary by
nature, the project requires a collaborative approach between science,
engineering, media and architecture, and the results are revealing for
all these areas. The Cuthbert Hall project invites discussion of the
importance in the creation and use of RT 3D VE's - under single and
multi-user conditions - of articulate aesthetics (the quality of
architectural, visual and audio design; the production and
incorporation of dramatic properties) and of the conditions required
for collaborative, communicative use of the environment. The full theoretical and technical discussions as well as the
evaluation results are outside the scope of this submission. |
