Abstract:
This paper evaluates interaction methods within the general framework of
navigation, selection, and manipulation. It considers large display
environments and, in particular, the virtual workbench, comparing this system
with HMD and CAVE systems. The paper addresses three issues: (a) identifying
the characteristics that set the workbench apart from other virtual
environments; (b) determining types, organization, and examples of
interaction techniques: (c) evaluating how these techniques perform on
the workbench to determine which perform best. The evaluations are based
on an extensive set of user observations. Also discussed are some
problems that stereoscopic display coupled with interaction bring out.
