VISCO: Bringing Visual Spatial Querying to Reality

This paper reports on the evolution of the spatial (sketchbased) query language VISCO and its implementation. The first design of VISCO’s query language was presented at VL ’97. The language is based on a strong naive physics metaphor for query objects (e.g. marbles, nails, rubberbands). We shortly review the prominent aspects of the revised version of VISCO’s query language. The main focus of ...
