Camera Positioning Support Based on potential Field in a Static Virtual Environment

This paper introduces a new method of camera movement support. The task is aided by means of innovatively generated potential field [7]. A new construction of the potentials lets the camera be attracted by implicit goals and simultaneously prevents the observer from getting into the object – collisions detection. Paper introduces also a new way of evaluating final position of the camera to let the user come up to a visually selected object quite smoothly. It reduces discrepancy between movement trail and the user’s intentions.
