Book Description

Publication Date: December 28, 2000

Virtual Interaction: Interaction in Virtual Inhabited 3D Worlds answers the basic research questions involved in the development of new, user-friendly interfaces. Containing the edited research papers resulting from an ambitious, cross-disciplinary research project, this volume examines the core activity of interfaces: interaction. (Two other volumes look at Space Construction, and Staging.) This book takes the reader all the way from general theories and conceptualisations of interaction aspects of virtual inhabited 3D worlds, through theories of and methods for the design of autonomous agents, ending in specific design methodology considerations and suggestions for management in the multimedia industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Virtual Ontology -- 0% non-sense., October 6, 2007

Mitchelle, "software integrator" - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Virtual Interaction: Interaction in Virtual Inhabited 3D Worlds (Hardcover)

I found this simply because I wasn't too thrill with Dr. Bartle -- I bought this of comtempt for him.

Dr. Bartle's rhetoric's is now a toy. With this book you won't be buying anything beside the theoretical -- all sun-dried theorems and concepts, the whole thing! Its as if some of Barchlard's phenomenology have taken to Ontological levels -- looks like something smart enough for Bachlard could dreamed up if he is alive.

Fortunately bartle's physics (example: mechanics involving exocontainers and game world objects) looks like a toy when compare to this incredible interdisiplinary reseach spinoff. Every aspect of a handful of related soft sciences are supremely organized into this trilogies which can read like the white paper of virtual ontology -- the ontology of virtual existence.

Simply, put this must have been the most articulate work on ontology of virtual interactions, simply the greatest ever written.

If you would rather not read Dr. Bartle, you don't really have to. 0% temporial non-sense, 98% Timeless maters. Nothing but praises for such a book.
