A brief review of existing angular diameter measurements of single objects is given. Potential astronomical programmes for high angular resolution stellar interferometry in the visual region of the spectrum are discussed with particular regard to the sensitivity, resolution, and accuracy required for significant astrophysical results to be obtained. This discussion is used as a basis for suggesting the minimum requirements for future high angular resolution stellar interferometers.
