Abstract
A method for determining virtual visibility is disclosed. The method includes modeling at least one object in a virtual space and plotting at least one surface from a first predetermined location relative to the at least one object within the virtual space. The method further includes identifying at least one interference between the at least one object and the at least one surface. The method still further includes determining a first characteristic of the at least one interference and determining if the first characteristic is within a predetermined range.
