Abstract :
The authors present an immersive design application for educational use that takes a different approach. First, they focus on the small, highly specific domain of animal habitat design. Second, the system´s users don´t have a blank slate-they begin with an existing design. Finally, the design tools don´t allow general manipulation of all design features. Instead, they´re task-specific and well constrained
