ABSTRACT:
A virtual workstation includes a virtual environment controller for creating a display of a virtual representation of a work area and tools and assets therein. A virtual interface processes inputs from a user and provides environmental control signals to the environmental controller which adjusts the display to provide an image which allows the user to move within the work area and access tools and assets virtually. An intuitive controller activates the tools and assets in background for virtual access by anticipating access based on virtual motion within the environment. A first embodiment provides a realistic three dimensional office representation in a network of workstations facilitating remote management and supervision by providing virtual or real images of coworkers on intuitive command. A second embodiment provides a virtual trade show with live or virtual imagery allowing the user to attend remotely as the trade show happens.
