It demonstrates the root of an idea I've long thought fascinating for a graphical MUD: 1) implement depth of field ala photography. 2) implement fuzzy peripheral vision as a performance optimisation and "reality" tweak". #2 is the simplest to implement (sorta) -- everything away from the center of the screen (and thus the center of attention) becomes increasingly fuzzy (LOD, polygon count, etc). #1 could be an interface nightmare, especially in the control of focus depth. look at something near by (click or command) and everything else becomes a blur, look at something very distant, and everything close becomes a blur. Do default focus on infinity, and most everything is slightly blurred. -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net ----------(*) Internet: coder#ibm,net ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00501" HREF="msg00501.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Vadim Tkachenko <vadimt#4cs,com></li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00486" HREF="msg00486.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Ling <K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00349" HREF="msg00349.html">The MLI Project</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Vadim Tkachenko <vadimt#4cs,com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00479.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] DBs and Events</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00481.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Moore's Law sucks (was: 3D graphics)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00355.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00486.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00480"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00480"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00357" HREF="msg00357.html">OT: I'm moving again!</A></strong>, JC Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,Eng.Sun.COM">claw#under,Eng.Sun.COM</a>, Fri 30 Jan 1998, 21:12 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00349" HREF="msg00349.html">The MLI Project</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vadimt#4cs,com">vadimt#4cs,com</a>, Fri 30 Jan 1998, 17:03 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00353" HREF="msg00353.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Marc Eyrignoux <a href="mailto:Marc.Eyrignoux#efrei,fr">Marc.Eyrignoux#efrei,fr</a>, Fri 30 Jan 1998, 18:48 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00355" HREF="msg00355.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vadimt#4cs,com">vadimt#4cs,com</a>, Fri 30 Jan 1998, 19:08 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00480" HREF="msg00480.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Mon 16 Feb 1998, 06:23 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00486" HREF="msg00486.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Mon 16 Feb 1998, 10:28 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00506" HREF="msg00506.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Tue 17 Feb 1998, 03:23 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00509" HREF="msg00509.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Tue 17 Feb 1998, 06:19 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00517" HREF="msg00517.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The MLI Project</A></strong>, Travis Casey <a href="mailto:efindel#polaris,net">efindel#polaris,net</a>, Wed 18 Feb 1998, 04:42 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
