Designing Virtual Environments for Social Interaction

چکیده
The Distributed Legible City (DLC) is an interactive multi-media art installation enabling a number of ‘cyclists’ to participate in a shared virtual environment. In this paper we describe the evolution of the DLC guided by ethnographic study. We consider the implications and problems associated with designing a virtual environment where the requirements to ‘support social interaction’ are ambiguous and open ended. Although our own work is but exploratory, we identify trans-situational features of social interaction which may be oriented to and explicated in other settings in designing virtual environments to support social interaction.

متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
متن کاملA New Perspective of Transforming the Use of CAAD in Designing the Built Environment
This paper introduces a new perspective of transforming the use of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) in designing the built environment. This perspective conceives the design process of the built environment to be an integration of technical and social processes. Virtual Design Environments (VDEs) open exciting new territory and have the potential to advantage the design of the built e...
