چکیده

With the proliferation of virtual environments in real-world applications effective interface design and usability testing for virtual environments becomes increasingly important. Since 3D interfaces are not based on a set of standardized widgets the tasks of user orientation, interface presentation and interaction feedback require special attention during the design of 3D environments. Animation techniques based on cartoon principles can be used to improve the presentation of 3D environments and their interaction possibilities, thus enhancing the usability of 3D interfaces. In this paper we describe a system for rapid prototyping of animated 3D widgets and evaluate a set of cartoon animated 3D widgets in a simple multi user application.

Persona: An Architecture for Animated Agent Interfaces

Several years ago we started a project called Persona, with the goal of building a framework for animated, conversational, agent-based interfaces. The project stitched together state-of-the-art speech recognition and natural language understanding components, with a 3D animation and control system of our own design. The first interface that we built with this framework was a 3D animated parrot ...

Using Intelligent 3D Animated Character as the Interface for Interactive Digital TV System

In this research, we propose to incorporate intelligent 3D character into interface design to enhance the user experience on the interactive digital TV system. Based on the smart interactive digital TV system, call SITV, developed in our previous work, we consider several interactive scenarios in the design of the intelligent 3D animated character. We propose to design our intelligent 3D charac...

Warping to Enhance 3D User Interfaces

Cartoon animation techniques have previously been used to enhance the illusion of direct manipulation in 2D graphical user interfaces. In particular, animation may be used to convey a feeling of substance to the objects being manipulated by the user. This paper presents an expansion of this concept to 3D graphical object manipulation. A standard set of 3D direct manipulation operations have bee...
