RESUMECet article présente une nouvelle façon de concevoir la navigation sur le WEB. Il décrit le principe LYPO qui consiste à associer à un site Internet non plus un ensemble de documents HTML visualisables via un navigateur, mais un environnement applicatif représenté à l'utilisateur sous la forme d'un « bureau virtuel » du même type que celui que lui présente le système d'exploitation de son ordinateur. Un environnement applicatif offre une plus grande liberté d'action au visiteur du site, et permet au webmaster de concevoir un site plus riche en terme de fonctionnalité et d'interaction. ABSTRACTThis paper presents a new way of designing navigation on the WEB. It describes the LYPO principle which consists in associating to an Internet site an applicative environment presented to the user as a kind of "virtual office" similar to the familiar user desktop metaphor, rather than a simple set of HTML documents. The applicative environment offers more freedom of action to the site visitor, and allows the webmaster to design a richer site in terms of fonctionnality and interaction.

This session brings together several leading structure visualization and browsing technologies for an entertaining yet informative "live" comparison. Users of each system will compete "head-to-head" in a series of races designed to simulate the stressful conditions under which real world browsing often takes place. Expert and novice operators will use four different visualization and browsing tools to complete a set of generic retrieval tasks as quickly and accurately as possible within the same information space. Attendees will be able to see for themselves which techniques work well or poorly as each system demonstrates its potential for a range of users.

“…As computer graphics technology has reached the point where 3D models can be rendered, often in real time on commodity desktop and mobile devices, at a fidelity that is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, it should be possible to use 3D models rather than 2D images to represent various objects on the Web. There have been a number of approaches over the last years to integrate 3D technologies on the Web and most of these systems and standards disappeared or barely survived (e.g., [23]). We argue that this is because of the fact that research was focused mostly on 3D graphics and 3D graphics alone.…”

The cube (here in blue) is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object (here in green). Like a circle in two dimensions, a perfect sphere is completely symmetrical around its center, with all points on the surface laying the same distance from the center point. This distance is known as the radius of the sphere. The maximum straight distance through the sphere is known as the diameter of the sphere.A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle. + +The cube (here in blue) is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object (here in green).

The integrated information presented in the hypertext mode (left) and the 3D mode (right) of the dual-mode user interface. ABSTRACTThe Web evolved from a text-based system to the current rich and interactive medium that supports images, 2D graphics, audio and video. The major media type that is still missing is 3D graphics. Although various approaches have been proposed (most notably VRML/X3D), they have not been widely adopted. One reason for the limited acceptance is the lack of 3D interaction techniques that are optimal for the hypertext-based Web interface. We present a novel strategy for accessing integrated information spaces, where hypertext and 3D graphics data are simultaneously available and linked. We introduce a user interface that has two modes between which a user can switch anytime: the driven by simple hypertext-based interactions "don't-makeme-think" mode, where a 3D scene is embedded in hypertext and the more immersive 3D "take-me-to-the-Wonderland" mode, which immerses the hypertextual annotations into the 3D scene. A user study is presented, which characterizes the user interface in terms of its efficiency and usability.
