This led to the success of Pixar and the spawn and popularity of many different completely 3D animated films. Not only that, but the technology used to create these films also helped to push the quality of the CG elements integrated into feature

The user can interact with the world and directly manipulate objects within the world. Some worlds are animated by other processes, perhaps physical simulations, or simple animation scripts. Interaction with the virtual world, at least with near real time control of the viewpoint, is a critical test for a 'virtual reality'. Some people object to the term
