Abstract:
This paper describes a system that was developed to explore communication
in Virtual Reality. The system offers a simple and powerful method to
embed verbal communication in simulations and visualizers by means of
voice annotation. Our prototype already demonstrates that the addition
of verbal communication opens up a range of new uses for virtual
environments. A similar voice annotation facility is easily added to
existing visualizers and simulations, and it enables reading, writing,
and communicating.
