This paper presents mechanisms and approaches to assist user navigation and exploration within 3-dimensional worlds. Specifically, we advocate the deployment of an agent based approach for dynamic system assistance and intervention. An algorithm has been developed, that produces a performance measure, which is employed by the intelligent agent to activate system interventions. We outline the importance of providing discrete navigational cues to users in order to increase their sense of immersion and their overall satisfaction while working within the 3D world. We present HADES - the Home of the Adaptive Environmental System, which is a 3-dimensional world within which the intelligent agent is immersed. The agent therefore has the ability to transform this 3D world into an intelligent environment. HADES reacts proactively to users' movements and offers navigational help indirectly. Indirect navigational support increases the user's satisfaction with his own performance and therefore endorses the user's sense of immersion.
