Visual shared workspaces for synchronous group-ware will be always staying on users' screens in the near future. Users will be moving frequently between your personal spaces for personal and asynchronous work and shared spaces for communication and synchronous ...

Three-dimensional user interfaces (3D UIs) let users interact with virtual objects, environments, or information using direct 3D input in the physical and/or virtual space. In this article, the founders and organizers of the IEEE Symposium on 3D User ...

This paper focuses at the usage of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for achieving pseudo-haptic feedback. By stimulating the motor nerves, muscular contractions can be triggered that can be matched to a haptic event. Reflecting an initial ...

This paper demonstrates how non-isomorphic rotational mappings and interaction techniques can be designed and used to build effective spatial 3D user interfaces. In this paper, we develop a mathematical framework allowing us to design non-isomorphic ...

One of the obstacles to the widespread use of interactive 3D applications is the lack of good tools for developing them. The development of these tools has been complicated by the wide range of hardware configurations used in 3D applications. Also, there ...

This special issue contains an introductory survey on 3D user interfaces by leading VR authorities and significantly expanded versions of the four best short papers from the proceedings of the 14th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology ...

The MediaMetro application provides an interactive 3D visualization of multimedia document collections using a city metaphor. The directories are mapped to city layouts using algorithms similar to treemaps. Each multimedia document is represented by ...

User interfaces can improve task performance by exploiting the powerful human capabilities for spatial cognition. This opportunity has been demonstrated by many prior experiments. It is tempting to believe that providing greater spatial flexibility-by ...

This is a short presentation of a uniform approach for specifying mixed reality user interfaces, including 3D interaction techniques and 3D widgets. Our main goal is to facilitate the process of reusing previous work, so more complex applications can ...

Desktop computers are able to provide a user interface with many features that allow the user to perform tasks such as execute applications load files and edit data. The gMenu system proposed in this paper is a step closer to having these same facilities ...

To increase the input space of mobile devices, the authors developed a proof-of-concept 3D elastic controller that easily adapts to mobile devices. This embedded device improves the completion of high-level interaction tasks such as visualization of ...

Providing personalized content and applications which also address heterogeneous capabilities of multiple device types becomes a significant challenge of today's Web development. By now most of the work in the field of adaptive hypermedia is devoted ...

Abstract¿Image databases are nowadays widely exploited in a number of different contexts, ranging from history of art, through medicine, to education. Existing querying paradigms are based either on the usage of textual strings, for high-level semantic ...

A novel 3D file navigation interface is described, using the principle of visual recognition to locate and manipulate thumbnails of files. The interface, named "MountainView", uses concepts from video game environments, allowing the user to place, search ...

Visual shared workspaces will be always staying on users' screens in the near future. Users will be moving frequently between their personal workspaces for personal and asynchronous work and shared workspaces for communication and synchronous cooperation. ...

This article examines why innovations such as the Sony EyeToy and Nintendo Wii have been so successful and discusses the research opportunities presented by the latest commercial push for spatial 3D interaction in games.

Multi-touch interaction has received considerable attention in the last few years, in particular for natural two-dimensional (2D) interaction. However, many application areas deal with three-dimensional (3D) data and require intuitive 3D interaction ...

The amount of data stored in personal digital devices increases rapidly as their memory capacities increase. These devices are usually equipped with relatively small displays, which makes presenting the information a challenge. We set out to explore ...

Given its current state of the art, Model-Based UI Development (MBDUI) is able to fulfill the major requirements of desktop and mobile applications, such as form-based user interfaces that adapt to the actual context of use. More recent research deals ...
