        The Synthetic
        Environment team is extending current GUI technology by
        using interactive, dynamic, three-dimensional computer
        graphics to enhance user ability to navigate large
        databases. We are developing a unique toolkit, "NCR
        Mirage" that allows advanced synthetic environment
        user interfaces--"virtual environments"--to be
        developed rapidly.  The "Virtual Shopping System" gives the user an accurate visualization of a shopping center that resembles real shopping surroundings, which makes them comfortable and familiar to the user. The virtual shopping system combines a full range of media, such as audio and recorded video.  |
