Space planning
- A software package developed
for the London Financial Futures and Options Exchange. Driven by their
need to 'prove' redesigns prior to their execution. LIFFE commissioned a
package to be used for trading floor redesign, planning, visualisation and
evaluation.
Using the virtual hand to
point, gesture and change the virtual environment proved to be the most
interactive and rewarding method of control.
The experience was designed to
allow the user complete freedom of movement. Coupled with the control
mechanism, it proved to be the best way to recreate real world obstruction
problems. For instance, if a bank of monitors were situated too low, the
user could then alter their position within the virtual world.
- Camera positions situated
throughout the trading floor present an accurate viewpoint of the whole
floor area. The user is able to populate trading pits, move booths and
banks of monitors using the virtual hand mechanism. Different camera positions
allow the user to develop a sense of proportion, so that when planning the
environment they will be able to design it so that there are no
obstructions.
