I suggest that VRML might be a start. You can write your worlds as text files, which gets processed by a VRML engine to create the world that could be viewed through a VR helmet or just on screen.

Elaborate and interactive worlds can be created without using any C++ programming. Scripts can also be run enabling the author to create movement of objects within the world independant of the viewer.

I would suggest doing a search for some VRML worlds on the internet.

In programming terms, the ParallelGraphics VRML Cortona engine has some neat COM interfaces which allows the inclusion of 3D worlds in your own programs and 3d interaction ( see www.parallegraphics.com)

Processing speed is a real problem though. The more real the simulation, the bigger the volume of data to process which takes longer and longer to update. Currently, PCs do not have enough grunt to produce a real real world. Cry | :(( To produce realistic animated faces etc as well all the usual viewer parallelaxes etc will kill most PCs for a long time in the future (but I would like to be wrong).Smile | :)

Using VRML, you can only produce simple dynamic and interactive worlds. Most authors use it model sophisticated shapes rather than whole worlds. If you want something more complicated, I guess that you would have to resort to using the imagination, as we currently do.
