Learn How to Create Immersive Virtual Environments

Written by an award-winning designer with 20 years of experience designing virtual environments for television and online communities, Virtual World Design explores the intertwining disciplines of 2D graphics, 3D models, lighting, sound, and storytelling. It illustrates how these disciplines come together by design in the creation of an accessible virtual environment for teaching, research, and entertainment. The book gives anyone the tools and techniques to design virtual environments that support their message and are accessible by all.

With 200 illustrations and 12 step-by-step projects, the book delivers hours of creative challenges for people working in public virtual worlds or on private grids. Using the modular components available for download on the author’s website, readers learn by building such things as a virtual classroom, an "all-access" terrain, and a sound-based game.

This book can be the foundation for class work in distance learning, simulation, and other learning technologies that use virtual environments. It shows both novices and advanced users how 3D composition, color, lighting, and sound design are used in the creation of an immersive virtual environment.

Reseña del editor:

Virtual environments are being utilized globally in gaming, training simulations, and web-based social environments. This book provides readers with a solid understanding of how to plan, design, and build a dynamic virtual space that meets their functional needs, supports their message, and contributes to the immersion and retention of the participants. Understanding the qualities of good design for 3D space is critical and this book demonstrates how to give 3D design the visual and functional qualities that support the intended purpose and empower visitors to learn and enjoy the experience in an immersive way.
