我们提出了一种显示和浏览数字图书馆馆藏的新方法，即珀尔修斯数字图书馆中的一组希腊花瓶。我们的设计利用三维图形来保留上下文，即使用户专注于单个项目。在典型的数字图书馆用户界面中，用户可以获取上下文的概述，也可以查看单个选定的项目，从而牺牲上下文视图。在我们的 3D 花瓶博物馆中，用户可以从高级散点图平面图无缝导航到藏品子集的透视概述、单个项目的视图、检索与该项目相关的数据，所有这些都在同一个虚拟房间内进行，无需任何模式更改或特殊命令。我们将此作为信息可视化中焦点加上下文问题的解决方案的示例。我们根据馆藏中的 2D 照片开发了 3D 模型，并将它们放置在我们的 3D 虚拟房间中。我们通过使用从考古学课程中提取的任务将其与 Perseus 中的传统界面进行比较来评估我们的方法，并发现了明显的改进。使用我们的 3D 花瓶博物馆的受试者执行任务的速度提高了 33%，速度提高了近三倍。
We present a new approach to displaying and browsing a digital library collection, a set of Greek vases in the Perseus digital library. Our design takes advantage of three-dimensional graphics to preserve context even while the user focuses in on a single item. In a typical digital library user interface, a user can either get an overview for context or else see a single selected item, sacrificing the context view. In our 3D Vase Museum, the user can navigate seamlessly from a high level scatterplot-like plan view to a perspective overview of a subset of the collection, to a view of an individual item, to retrieval of data associated with that item, all within the same virtual room and without any mode change or special command. We present this as an example of a solution to the problem of focus-plus-context in information visualization. We developed 3D models from the 2D photographs in the collection and placed them in our 3D virtual room. We evaluated our approach by comparing it to the conventional interface in Perseus using tasks drawn from archaeology courses and found a clear improvement. Subjects who used our 3D Vase Museum performed the tasks 33% better and did so nearly three times faster.
