Started 1993, VIENA is a project in a new research focus theme of "Artificial Intelligence and Computer Graphics" at the University of Bielefeld. The overall goal is to enable an intelligent communication with a virtual environment, in order to relieve the user from technical detail. Instead of using the mouse and menus to manipulate objects in a virtual scene we employ a multiagent interface which mediates qualitative verbal instructions by translating them to quantitative commands that are used to update the visualization scene model.
