“…In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) display technologies, such as immersive Virtual Reality (VR) systems [5], or non-immersive fish-tank VR systems using LCD shutter stereo-glasses [27], have significantly improved in display quality. Experimental evaluations have also shown that these displays can improve the user's ability to perceive virtual 3D scenes [28], making them a potentially beneficial alternative for 3D applications.…”

Object selection is a primary interaction technique which must be supported by any interactive three-dimensional virtual reality application. Although numerous techniques exist, few have been designed to support the selection of objects in dense target environments, or the selection of objects which are occluded from the user's viewpoint. There is, thus, a limited understanding on how these important factors will affect selection performance. In this paper, we present a set of design guidelines and strategies to aid the development of selection techniques which can compensate for environment density and target visibility. Based on these guidelines, we present two techniques, the depth ray and the 3D bubble cursor, both augmented to allow for the selection of fully occluded targets. In a formal experiment, we evaluate the relative performance of these techniques, varying both the environment density and target visibility. The results found that both of these techniques outperformed a baseline point cursor technique, with the depth ray performing best overall.

“…Using the tracking information, the virtual world is updated according to the reaction of the animal. Those immersive virtual fish tank applications (from the perspective of the fish in the tank) should not be confused with the fish tank VR metaphor [70] defined as "a stereo image of a three dimensional (3D) scene viewed on a monitor using a perspective projection coupled to the head position of the observer".…”

“…Stravness, Lam and Fels explored this possibility with pCubee [5]. Their research applies the concept of fish tank virtual reality introduced by Ware, Arthur and Booth [6] to the creation of a physical volumetric display. We are interested in exploring other types of applications that could benefit from this form factor beyond threedimensional representation.…”

We propose the design, implementation and evaluation of a set of tangible cubic displays. This novel approach to display technology consists of arranging six organic light emitting diode screens in a cubic form factor. We explore the possibilities that this type of display holds for data visualization, manipulation and exploration. We are especially interested in exploring how the physicality of the screen can be perceived as a cue to better interpret its contents. To this end, we propose a series of applications that leverage the affordances of this technology.
