“…With the InterSpect viewer, users could manipulate three-dimensional images by rotating them, zooming in or out, or hiding parts of the model. Another remarkable 3D hypermedia system was developed by researchers from Graz University of Technology (Andrews, 1992(Andrews, , 1994(Andrews, , 1996Andrews and Pichler, 1994;Pichler, 1993). Their Hyper-G system was the first to combine 3D graphics and hyperlinking across the Internet.…”

The World Wide Web, today's largest and most important online information infrastructure, does not support 3D content and, although various approaches have been proposed, there is still no clear design methodology for user interfaces that tightly integrate hypertext and interactive 3D graphics. This paper presents a novel strategy for accessing information spaces, where hypertext and 3D graphics data are simultaneously available and interlinked. We introduce a Dual-Mode User Interface that has two modes between which a user can switch anytime: the driven by simple hypertext-based interactions "hypertext mode", where a 3D scene is embedded in hypertext and the more immersive "3D mode", which immerses the hypertextual annotations into the 3D scene. A user study is presented, which characterizes the interface in terms of its efficiency and usability.

“…A further innovative feature of Harmony is its use of three-dimensional visualisations, both hand-crafted and automatically generated Andrews 1993, Andrews andPichler 1994 . Model description les representing arbitrarily complex scenes or objects are displayed by the Harmony 3D Scene Viewer.…”

As the Internet continues to experience exponential rates of growth, attention is shifting away from mainstream network services such as electronic mail and le transfer to more interactive information services. Current network information systems, whilst extremely successful, run into problems of fragmentation, consistency, scalability, and loss of orientation. The development of second generation" network information systems such as Hyper-G can help overcome these limitations. Of particular note are Hyper-G's tightly-coupled structuring, linking, and search facilities, its projection of a seamless information space across server boundaries with respect to each of these facilities, and its support for multiple languages. The Harmony client for Hyper-G utilises two and three-dimensional visualisations of the information space and couples location feedback to search and link browsing operations, in order to reduce the likelihood of disorientation. This paper presents a comprehensive o verview of Hyper-G and Harmony.

“…This vision inspired researchers from Graz University of Technology. Andrews and Pichler in [1] examines the incorporation of three-dimensional models into hypermedia systems as fully-fledged documents. Display, navigational, and authoring aspects of 3D hypermedia documents are discussed and are illustrated with examples taken from the Harmony Viewer for the Hyper-G hypermedia information system.…”

In this article we present a model for 2-Layer Interface Paradigm (2LIP). 2LIP is an approach for designing simple yet interactive 3D web applications, an attempt to marry advantages of 3D experience with the advantages of the narrative structure of hypertext. The hypertext information, together with graphics, and multimedia, is presented semi-transparently on the foreground layer. It overlays the 3D representation of the information displayed in the background of the interface. We describe implementations of the 2LIP model: 2LIPGarden (HTML context) and Copernicus (wiki context). We want to show that our model can be easily employed to the existing web infrastructure.
