Hey Net.world,

     We're could I find any papers on the topic of navigation of
     objects/people through a virtual world?   Anything dealing with
     a powerglove as the basic tool of navigation would be appreciated,
     as well as anything else similiar.

	Thanks

[MODERATOR'S NOTE:  Not a guide to navigating in virtual worlds, which I
believe the folks at University of Alberta have thought and written about,
but I recommend Passini's WAYFINDING IN ARCHITECTURE (1984) as a classic
in the field of "wayfinding."  Also, Dr. Enfield in the Psychology Dept.
at the University of Washington just published a thesis on wayfinding and
cognitive space.  I will post a review when I receive a copy.  More
pointers on this and related issues -- three-dimensional "Tufte-ism"! --
are welcome! -- Bob Jacobson]
