“…One approach to simplify the creation of virtual worlds is to semantically enrich virtual objects. This concept has proven to be efficient in creating Intelligent Virtual Environments (IVEs) [21]. But until now this idea has mostly been used to store additional knowledge about the graphical representation only.…”

Abstract. In order to make a significant step towards more realistic virtual experiences, we created a multi-sensory stimuli display for a CAVElike environment. It comprises graphics, sound, tactile feedback, wind and warmth. In the present report we discuss the possibilities and constraints tied to such an enhancement. To use a multi-modal display in a proper way, many considerations have to be taken into account. This includes safety requirements, hardware devices and software integration. For each stimulus different possibilities are reviewed with regard to their assets and drawbacks. Eventually the resulting setup realized in our lab is described -to our knowledge one of the most comprehensive systems. Technical evaluations as well as user studies accompanied the development and gave hints with respect to necessities and chances.

“…So, the virtual environment is no longer seen only as a set of objects represented in three dimensions, but also as a knowledge base (Informed VET). Informed VETs were introduced firstly by Aylett [3] which recommended the use of artificial intelligence techniques to represent explicitly knowledge in VET. After that, several models have been proposed, such as [4], which aims to include in the objects of the environment, knowledge necessary for their handling.…”

“…One category of these environments with a huge development is related to Virtual Environments (VE), proposing more and more sophisticated and credible simulations of some "reality" for one or more user to be immersed into. Agent technologies have been also proposed for supporting interaction for humans in such environments [13]. VEs are not restricted to traditional virtual reality application domains such as art, entertainment or education, but there is a variety of other sophisticated opportunities for mixing physical, virtual, simulated, etc.…”

Abstract. Since more than a decade, the environment is seen as a key element when analyzing, developing or deploying Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) applications. Especially, for the development of multi-agent platforms it has become a key concept, similarly to many application in the area of location-based, distributed systems. An emerging, prominent application area for MAS is related to Virtual Environments. The underlying technology has evolved in a way, that these applications have grown out of science fiction novels till research papers and even real applications. Even more, current technologies enable MAS to be key components of such virtual environments. In this paper, we widen the concept of the environment of a MAS to encompass new and mixed physical, virtual, simulated, etc. forms of environments. We analyze currently most interesting application domains based on three dimensions: the way different "realities" are mixed via the environment, the underlying natures of agents, the possible forms and sophistication of interactions. In addition to this characterization, we discuss how this widened concept of possible environments influences the support it can give for developing applications in the respective domains.
