Evaluation of a hand-held interactive 3D multi-screen display

一类新的三维（3D）显示技术将多个2D平板显示器布置成几何形状（诸如盒子），从而允许操纵显示器以从不同视角观看和控制反应性3D场景。这些显示器相对便宜，因为新的，更薄的平板屏幕正在成为一种商品。因此，我们看到，几何排列的多个显示器作为一个新兴的技术.然而，目前还不清楚什么是观看和与3D场景交互的最佳技术。因此，我们建议进行用户研究，以评估的价值，立体渲染，头耦合的角度来看，和显示操纵的背景下，静态和反应性的互动taskswith新的显示技术。我们计划创建一个名为Personal Cubee（P-Cubee）的显示原型，该原型重量轻，无线，易于拾取和操作，以进行用户评估研究。P-Cubee系统还将支持基于手势的交互与反应式虚拟现实模拟，渲染对象对显示器的运动做出反应。我们认为，下一个重要的3D显示类型之一是多屏幕，个人显示器耦合到基于手势的交互。最终，多屏幕交互式显示器可能成为手机、游戏机和桌面显示器的标准，制造商制造的设备可以折叠，在2D和3D几何形状之间转换，以满足不同的应用。P-Cubee的创建和研究将有助于建立这种可能的未来。

A new class of three-dimensional (3D) display technology arranges multiple 2D flat panel displays into ageometric shape, such as a box, allowing the display to be manipulated for viewing and controlling a reactive3D scene from different perspectives. These displays are relatively inexpensive to build as new, thinner flatpanel screens are becoming a commodity item. Thus, we see that geometrically arranged multiple displays asan emerging technology. However, it is not clear what are the best techniques for viewing and interacting withthe 3D scenes. Therefore, we propose to perform user studies to assess the value of stereoscopic rendering,head-coupled perspective, and display manipulation within the context of static and reactive interaction taskswith the new display technology. We plan to create a display prototype called Personal Cubee (P-Cubee) that islight-weight, wireless, and easily picked up and manipulated, in order to perform the user evaluation studies.The P-Cubee system will also be built to support gesture-based interaction with reactive virtual realitysimulations, where rendered objects react to motion of the display. We believe that one of the next significant3D display types are multi-screen, personal displays coupled to gesture-based interaction. Ultimately,multi-screen, interactive displays may become the standard for cell-phones, game consoles, and desktopdisplays where manufactures build devices that can be folded to shift between 2D and 3D geometries fordifferent applications. The creation and study of P-Cubee will help to establish this possible future.
