“…We show tracking menus for 2D (Fitzmaurice, Khan, Pieké, Buxton, & Kurtenbach, 2003) and 3D, called SteeringWheels , and a technique called HoverCam (Khan, Komalo, Stam, Fitzmaurice, & Kurtenbach, 2005) for simple 3D exterior navigation. Tracking menus are essentially a one-handed tool glass (Bier, Stone, Fishkin, Buxton, & Baudel, 1994) that works well for pen-based input as well as mouse and touch-screen. We also present the ViewCube , an orientation tool, and ShowMotion (Burtnyk, Khan, Fitzmaurice, & Kurtenbach, 2006), a navigation and design review system.…”

Inspired by our automotive and product design customers using large displays in design centers, visualization studios, and meeting rooms around the world, we have been exploring the use and potential of large display installations for almost a decade. Our research has touched on many aspects of this rich design space, from individual tools to complete systems, and has generally moved through the Azam Khanis a human-computer interaction (HCI) researcher with an interest in large displays, 3D navigation, and user experience; he is a Research Scientist at Autodesk Research.

As we attempt to preserve creative flow through the phases, we introduce social structures and constraints that drive the design of possible point solutions in the larger context of a digital design studio trail environment built in the lab. Although many of the interactions presented are viable across several design phases, this article focuses primarily on facilitating collaboration. We conclude with critical lessons learned of both what avenues have been fruitful and which roads to avoid. This article lightly covers the whole design process and attempts to inform readers of key factors to consider when designing for designers.

“…For example, Bowman and Hodges [7] present a general formal framework for 3D interaction in immersive virtual environments (IVEs) based around three tasks: motion control, selection, and manipulation. Bier et al give a taxonomy of see-through tools [6] for a class of double-handed interaction techniques using transparent sheets called toolglasses that partly inspired this taxonomy. Bowman et al [8] present a descriptive view of the design space of information display as well as interaction for information visualization within virtual environments.…”

While an important factor in depth perception, the occlusion effect in 3D environments also has a detrimental impact on tasks involving discovery, access, and spatial relation of objects in a 3D visualization. A number of interactive techniques have been developed in recent years to directly or indirectly deal with this problem using a wide range of different approaches. In this paper, we build on previous work on mapping out the problem space of 3D occlusion by defining a taxonomy of the design space of occlusion management techniques in an effort to formalize a common terminology and theoretical framework for this class of interactions. We classify a total of 25 different techniques for occlusion management using our taxonomy and then go on to analyze the results, deriving a set of five orthogonal design patterns for effective reduction of 3D occlusion. We also discuss the "gaps" in the design space, areas of the taxonomy not yet populated with existing techniques, and use these to suggest future research directions into occlusion management.

“…Systems such as the Wordlets [11] and Worlds-inMiniature [25] explore these ideas. Toolglasses and magic lenses [5] could be adapted to behave more like a Frisbee design with two distinct components (i.e., the telescope and target) instead of a single movable lens.…”

We describe a new widget and interaction technique, known as a "Frisbee," for interacting with areas of a large display that are difficult or impossible to access directly. A frisbee is simply a portal to another part of the display. It consists of a local "telescope" and a remote "target". The remote data surrounded by the target is drawn in the telescope and interactions performed within it are applied on the remote data. In this paper we define the behavior of frisbees, show unique affordances of the widget, and discuss design characteristics. We have implemented a test application and report on an experiment that shows the benefit of using the frisbee on a large display. Our results suggest that the frisbee is preferred over walking back and forth to the local and remote spaces at a distance of 4.5 feet.
