Rat Maze of VR      
  Goals

  1. This maze will be a tool with which future designers can create, develop, and test their own interactive story-telling techniques.

  2. We plan to test a few of our own manipulation techniques and judge their effectiveness.

  3. This project gives us the chance to explore desktop users and head-mounted display users interacting in the same virtual environment with different interfaces, goals, and experiences.

  
       
 
More on goal 3

Networked computers and game servers have long allowed several desktop users to share a common virtual world.

 
       
 
Recently, networked VR machines have allowed several users to experience a shared virtual world and interact with one another. 		 
       
 
We propose a relatively new setup for interaction - desktop users manipulating a shared virtual world in which another individual experiences the environment through an HMD.
