Abstract
A method of area partition in virtual environment is disclosed. It can be used to divide 3D (Three Dimensions) virtual environment into several subareas. The invention interposes neighboring subareas so that the subareas in the same plane and the subareas in adjacent planes mix with one another. Both the number of subareas adjacent to each subarea and the number of subareas an object crosses can be decreased, thus lowering the load in operations.
