The Virtual Reality Special Interest Group (VRSIG) housed in the Computer Science department at Rhodes University conducts research into various aspects of computer graphics and virtual reality. Current research work concentrates on creating Rich Virtual Environments - virtual environments with the realism, depth and appeal of the real world. Projects in this area include Text-to-Scene (automatically generating an environment based on a fictional book), and Procedural Modelling (generating realistic and responsive content in these worlds).

This work build on our past experience with producing distributed virtual reality systems, creating custom hardware and interaction techniques for virtual worlds, and generating content and applications for virtual environments.
