A Research for 3D Collaborative User Interfaces

3D交互是将日常活动应用于真实的世界隐喻与计算机接口的重要关键技术。我们对充分利用用户的直觉、灵敏度和本体感受的3D协作用户界面进行了研究。更具体地说，通过仔细的实验和研究，建立了以下三个关键技术。（1）人机交互中的Kinetics及其应用我们对人在定位和指向任务中的表现进行了基本分析，并利用所获得的知识构建了智能和先进的用户界面。（2）面对面协作系统：设计并评价了计算机支持的面对面协作系统。（3）工具接口工具在未来的交互系统中被期望为用户提供良好的隐喻，用于直观地操纵“信息”或虚拟对象。此外，通过使用“虚拟化”工具，我们可以通过简单地改变具有标准化接口的工具的软件参数来研究各种新工具。通过这些实验，我们希望获得新的知识，设计一个良好的/舒适的用户界面。此外，我们还希望分析人类学习使用新工具时发生的过程。我们采用筷子作为我们技术的试验之一，因为虽然它们的形式非常简单，但它们确实有多种功能。

3D interaction is an important key technology for applying daily activities in the real world metaphor to interface with a computer.. We conducted research on 3D collaborative user interfaces that utilizes the user's intuition, sensitivity, and proprioception to the full. More concretely, the following three key technologies were established through careful experiments and investigation.(1)Kinematics in computer-human interaction and their applicationsWe made fundamental analysis on human performance during the positioning and pointing tasks and constructed intelligent and advanced user interfaces by utilizing knowledge obtained.(2)Systems for face-to-face collaboration.Systems for computer supported cooperative work in face-to-ace environment were designed and evaluated.(3)Tool interfaceTools are expected to provide users with good metaphors in future interactive systems for intuitively manipulating "information" or virtual objects. Moreover, by using a "virtualized" tool, we can investigate varieties of new tools by simply changing the software parameters of the tool with a standardized interface. Through these experiments, we expect to obtain new knowledge to design a good/comfortable user interface. In addition, we also expect to analyze processes that occur while humans learn to use new tools. We adopt chopsticks for one of the trials of our technique because although they are very simple in form, they do have multiple functions.
