Abstract
We present a platform for creating immersive 3D games including a new interface for navigating through virtual scenes. One innovative part of this application is a crowd simulation with an emergent behaviour of virtual characters. While the users has to move very quickly through a crowd of nearly two hundred virtual characters he is supported by a precise, fast operating, and unobtrusive navigation interface.
