  5. What is Sheep ? • Provides interactive simulation. • Aimed at computer games and virtual reality worlds. • Not suitable for industrial simulation.

  6. What is Sheep for ? • Improving gaming experience: • Makes games behave more realistically. • Makes interaction with the environment more intuitive. • Opens up the way for construction games.
