“…A fat panel was chosen over a book due to participant feedback from the Text distance test indicating that users need to be able to customise the background and fonts very specifcally, which is best done on a fat plane to reduce noise. Additionally the panel was chosen due to the increased complexities of translating real world interactions to a virtual controller, as precise movements such as individual fnger grabbing of pages cannot be done [2] with our chosen VR setup, which may have been confusing to our users.…”

We present our work on creating a virtual reality personal library environment to enable people with severe visual disabilities to engage in reading tasks. The environment acts as a personal study or library to an individual, who under other circumstances would not be able to access or use a public library or a physical study at home. We present tests undertaken to identify the requirements and needs of our users to inform this environment and fnally present the working prototype.

The Things We Talk About When We Talk About Browsing: An Empirical Typology of Library Browsing Behavior

Libraries increasingly offer much of their collection online, rendering it invisible or unavailable to readers who, for reasons of information experience, prefer to browse the shelves. Although the evidence that shelf browsing is an important part of information behavior is increasing, information browsing as a behavior is somewhat of a black box (in contrast to web browsing, which is relatively well understood). It seems likely from early work that browsing is not, in fact, a monolithic behavior, but rather a set of behaviors and goals. The typologies presented in these works, however, are of a too high level to offer much insight into what support is needed for successful online browsing. In contrast, a recent spate of speculative browsing technologies meet some browsing needs, but offer little theoretical understanding of how systems support browsing. The major contribution of this article is a new typology of library browsing behavior based on recent observations of browsing behavior in libraries. The secondary contribution is an understanding of the interface features that would support these types of information browsers in an online environment.

Information retrieval is one of the important service contents of libraries. However, Traditional information retrieval methods cannot guarantee the efficient use of book resources and good reader experience. Therefore, this paper mainly discusses how to introduce virtual reality technology into the construction of digital libraries and provide a new service mode for library visual information retrieval. In order to break the traditional way of building information platform in libraries, we propose to construct a library VR information retrieval system, and introduce the architecture, construction process and scene modelling of the system. This system can improve readers’ information retrieval experience from the perception and interaction level, and greatly promote the integration and effective utilization of library information resources.

Taking a Book off the Shelf in a Virtual Library

Abstract: We present the results of a small-scale study in which participants interacted with a physical book. Their book selection and book opening gestures provide design insights for the interface to a virtual reality library.
