Immersive viewer system for 3D user interface

초록

3D user interface research is increasing rapidly as development of area in virtual environment, virtual reality and augmented reality. Recently, the 3D user interface is not favorable because it needs high cost and uses cumbersome devices. However, the 3D user interface gives a great impact to the user which motivated us to implement an immersive viewer system (Imviewer system) to test the 3D user interface. The Im-viewer system uses a tiled display to provide an immersive image to user, and it uses the proposed 3D volume reconstruction and representation for input interface with low computational as advantage. The input interface is used to control the tiled display operation such as on/off, next/previous slide command in Im-viewer system. The experimental results show that the proposed techniques of 3D user interface perform well on the Im-viewer system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
