For this reason, the system's respons e is critical- if the user turns his hea d and the world takes seconds to catc h up with him, the result will be disorienting and confusing, rather tha n enlightening. The viper application i s an attempt at giving real-time or nearreal-time performance in a virtual worlds application ; it allows the use r to trade off image quality for interactive performance .

Technical Report TR92-004 Key technical terms : Virtual worlds , virtual reality, real-time systems , head-mounted display Categories : Computer Graphics , Realtime Systems, Human-Compute r Interface, Animation & Multimedi a Abstract: Virtual-worlds application s have a great need for interactive performance, since the user's view of th e real world may be blocked out and the only "world" the user can see is the A workshop on non-literal language was held at IJCAI-91 . Non-literal language includes metaphor, idiom , "indirect" speech acts, implicature , hyperbole, metonymy, irony, simile , sarcasm, and other devices whos e meaning cannot be obtained by direct composition of their constituen t words . Attendees were Dan Fass , James Martin, Elizabeth Hinkelman , John Barnden, Ted Briscoe, Jerr y Hobbs, Eric van der Linden, Hirosh i Motoda, Yamagami Matsumoto , David Powers, Lisa Rau, Camero n Shelley, Raoul Smith, Susan Weber, Sylvia Weber Russell, and Jane t Wiles .
