A National Research Agenda for Virtual Reality: Report by the National Research Council Committee on VR R&D
In 1992, at the request of a consortium of federal agencies, the National Research Council established a committee to "recommand a national research and development agenda in the area of virtual reality" to set U.S. government R&D funding priorities for virtual reality (VR) for the next decade...
Physically Large Displays Improve Path Integration
ABSTRACT Previous results have shown that users perform better on spatial orientation tasks involving static 2D scenes when working on physically large displays as compared to small ones. This was found to be true even when the displays presented the same images at equivalent visual angles. Further investigation has suggested that large displays may provide a greater sense of presence, which biases users into adopting more efficient strategies to perform tasks. In this work, we extend those findings, demonstrating that users are more effective at performing 3D virtual navigation tasks on large displays. We also show that even though interacting with the environment affects performance, effects induced by interactivity are independent of those induced by physical display size. Together, these findings allow us to derive guidelines for the design and presentation of interactive 3D environments on physically large displays
Creativity support tools: report from a U.S. National Science Foundation sponsored workshop
International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 20(2): pp. 61-77.Creativity support tools is a research topic with high risk but potentially very high
payoff. The goal is to develop improved software and user interfaces that empower
users to be not only more productive but also more innovative. Potential users include
software and other engineers, diverse scientists, product and graphic designers, architects,
educators, students, and many others. Enhanced interfaces could enable more
effective searching of intellectual resources, improved collaboration among teams,
and more rapid discovery processes. These advanced interfaces should also provide
potent support in hypothesis formation, speedier evaluation of alternatives, improved
understanding through visualization, and better dissemination of results. For
creative endeavors that require composition of novel artifacts (e.g., computer programs,
scientific papers, engineering diagrams, symphonies, artwork), enhanced interfaces
could facilitate exploration of alternatives, prevent unproductive choices, and
enable easy backtracking. This U.S. National Science Foundation sponsored workshop
brought together 25 research leaders and graduate students to share experiences,
identify opportunities, and formulate research challenges. Two key outcomes
emerged: (a) encouragement to evaluate creativity support tools through multidimensional
in-depth longitudinal case studies and (b) formulation of 12 principles for design
of creativity support tools.
As Galileo struggled to view Jupiter through his newly built telescope, he adjusted
the lenses and saw four twinkling points of light nearby. After recording
their positions carefully, Galileo compared them to his drawings from
previous nights. His conclusion that Jupiter had four moons circling it was a
profound insight with far reaching implications
