Design and implementation of 3D user interfaces
EF 2006-07
Résumé
Over the past decade considerable progress has been made on 3D graphics hardware, but similar progress has not been made on software and applications that take advantage of this hardware. One of the main reasons for this situation is the lack of software tools supporting the development of 3D applications. The Grappl system is one of the first software tools that assists with the production of 3D user interfaces, and the research program proposed here extends this system to cover a wider range of applications and produce higher quality user interfaces. This research program will investigate techniques for arranging user interface and application components in 3D space, incorporating multiple modes of interaction, and techniques for structuring large 3D user interfaces. The resulting software tools will reduce the time required to produce user interfaces for a wide range of 3D applications.
