About MOVIE
MOVIE Models is part of the MOVIE project. MOVIE is a project from the Information Society Technologies (IST) programme from the European Community under contract number: IST-2001-39250. MOVIE is the abbreviation for Motion Planning in VIrtual Environments.

Motion planning, also termed path planning, plays an increasingly important role in virtual environment applications. Multiple autonomous entities must navigate through virtual worlds and need to plan their own routes and motions. The goal of this project is to develop motion planning techniques that are suitable for these applications. The developed techniques will need to have real-time performance and deal with
  • large, complex environments
  • dynamic changes in the environment
  • the complicated kinematic structure of some of the entities
  • simultaneous planning for multiple moving entities
  • path quality and natural constraints on the allowed motions
MOVIE models
In the MOVIE project, techniques are being developed and tested by using tools and 3d models : robots and scenes. MOVIE models will try to provide the necessary material and documentation needed for this research. Also, MOVIE models tends to organise model collections, provide easy interface and search functionality, and give useful information about the models.
