Structuring and Presenting WWW Docu- ments in a VR Metaphor
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses Virtual Reality as a metaphor for accessing information in structured Web sites. A model for information classification is presented, and an architecture for generating VR interfaces according to a Web site structure is illustrated. Assuming that XML is a viable choice for describing Web documents semantics, some comments stemming from a prototype implementation are discussed.

Conceptual Metaphoric Language Use in Structuring Political Discourse in Iran-West Relations: A CDA Perspective
The present study was carried out with the purpose of examining the role of metaphorical language in the critical discourse analysis (CDA) of political texts based on a modern framework postulated by Kövecses (2015). The corpus of the study consisted of thirty-thousand words chosen as a textual sample to see which source conceptual domains are used and what generic/discursive attributes emerge ...
متن کاملVR and Laser-Based Interaction in Virtual Environments Using a Dual-Purpose Interaction Metaphor
In this paper we present a dual-purpose interaction metaphor for desktop-based and virtual reality (VR) interaction in VR system environments. Many VR interaction techniques enable users to perform 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) manipulation tasks. However, designers of most GUIs have only standard desktop devices in mind for using them. Therefore porting desktop applications to VR systems often fa...
متن کاملThe Through-the-Lens Metaphor: Taxonomy and Application
In this work, we present a set of tools based on the through-the-lens metaphor. This metaphor enables simultaneous exploration of a virtual world from two different viewpoints. The one is used to display the surrounding environment and represents the user, the other is interactively adjusted and the resulting images are displayed in a dedicated window.
متن کاملLearning to Probabilistically Identify Authoritative Documents
We describe a model of document citation that learns to identify hubs and authorities in a set of linked documents such as pages retrieved from the world wide web or papers retrieved from a research paper archive Un like the popular HITS algorithm which re lies on dubious statistical assumptions our model provides probabilistic estimates that have clear semantics We also nd that in general the ...
متن کاملNew Interaction Techniques: Overview
In this paper, we present new ways to interact with a computer similar to driving a car and compare these techniques to the standard ways to control the computer like mouse and keyboard. We think that controlling the computer with both hands and feet in the same way that one controls a car offers new possibilities especially for three dimensional (3D) World Wide Web (WWW) navigation. The car me...
