Abstract
The aim of this study is introducing a new method in VR environment by using animating textures to represent human activities inside the urban space (Active Virtual Reality Environment “AVR”) to enhance the sense of realism and interaction in VR environment. Furthermore, there is a comparison among three methods in building VR environment by conducting a psychological evaluation for the Three VR methods. To achieve the objectives of research, the following steps have to be taken; developing a system to show the animating textures and using them to show the urban space activities, preparing a prototype system, selecting an appropriate site and building a digital model for it to create and develop a VR System. Finally, we utilized a prototype to build AVR system.
