Features

Hi,

'... .The graphics of computer games will definitely improve, but this may cause problems. Firstly, game studios will have to employ hundreds of animators to produce enough features to fill huge computer worlds. ...'

What does 'features' mean?

Thanks.

"Features" was a poor choice of a word by the author. Here, it's being used as a metaphor, meaning: buildings, people, animals, nature, cars, etc. Anything you would see and interact with in a video game.
