(November 2001) [CONCEPTUAL SPACES]

-----[click to launch project]-----

The conceptual space project is the second part of creating conceptual 3-D models (the first part being conceptual objects). My concern is to construct 3-D environments that are physically impossible but can only exists in the computer. I am interested in how people build 'mental maps' as they explore a virtual space. In these conceptual spaces I want the user to be unable to create a single map; they must continually 'update' their mental map as they change their point of view. Similar to the conceptual objects, I hope these conceptual spaces will introduce new ways to think about space in the virtual computer environment.
