In 
Figures 
2.2 
and 
2.3, 
the 
graphics 
show 
characters 
of 
50 
×
30 
cm 
from 
top-down 
view. 
The 
characters 
are 
standing 
still, 
and 
are 
all 
facing 
in 
the 
same 
direction 
and 
standing 
in 
the 
same 
way. 
The 
distribution 
of 
charac-
ters 
is 
uniform 
(evenly 
spaced) 
and 
all 
characters 
in 
the 
graphics 
are 
exactly 
of 
the 
same 
size. 
Obviously, 
this 
is 
nothing 
like 
real 
crowd 
of 
real 
people, 
but 
it 
does 
help 
visualise 
crowd

crowds
At 
higher 
densities, 
the 
crowd 
packing 
obviously 
becomes 
closer, 
to 
the 
point 
of 
people 
being 
in 
physical 
contact 
with 
each 
other.
