Abstract
The present volume differs from the earlier volumes in this series about virtual inhabited 3D worlds in two respects: as the title says, it is focused on applications (trains, ships, toys, urban planning, brain surgery, design and production, and educational material); but it also took an unexpected turn, partly because half of the chapters are about augmented reality and partly because the concept of a habitat, originally proposed by Daniel May, turned out to be useful in a number of chapters.
