Abstract :
We present the details of the ENTER (Environment which Totally Envelops the useR) system. The ENTER system seeks to provide a totally, immersive 3-dimensional environment which is highly, configurable and personalised based on the perceived needs of an individual user. The use of agent-oriented modelling and design techniques has lead to a versatile and flexible system within which the constituent agents collaborate to realise the system aims. The facility to dynamically reconfigure virtual worlds controlled by the agent entities lends to the technology being applicable for differing immersive environments. This system has in the first instance been cast in the arena of virtual shopping malls, but of course this represents but one potential application domain
