“…Personal differences among users had more influence on the result than performing on different facilities (figure 2e). This agreed the conclusion of Swindells research, [6], in which it is claimed that individual differences between users are much more important than display type and rendering style.…”

“…The wide range of available VR technologies differs in performance and usability, which calls for experimentation assessing the benefits of different technologies in relation to different applications. In previous research we can find works evaluating the role of 1 to 3 displays [1], [3], [6]. However, few works specifically target benefits of stereo viewing in telerobotics, (and in particular in mobile robot teleguide), and even fewer test on different VR facilities.…”

A higher sense of presence and interaction capability may be provided to a user when adopting 3D stereoscopic visualization compared to 2D viewing. Depth perception and task performance may however greatly vary for different display technologies, while available budget and application context constraint system design and approach selection. This work intends to contribute in assessing benefits of stereoscopic viewing for different virtual reality (VR) technologies. The investigation is performed under different conditions and it uses both synthetic and real images. The investigation concentrates on few aspects: comparative evaluation of VR facilities, the influence of selective visual attention on robot tele-drive, performance in collision avoidance and distance estimation. Results from a set of test trials run on 3 different VR facilities in 5 different configurations, emphasize some tendencies and represent a base for further investigations.

“…There is significant amount of research into different aspects of 3D interfaces, such as 3D displays (e. g., [11,21]), 3D input devices (e. g., [25]), and 3D interaction metaphors (e. g., [16]). In * e-mail: {keijser | sheelagh | msh | isenberg}@cpsc.ucalgary.ca parallel there is also a continuing discussion about difficulties with 3D interfaces including problems with developing effective 3D perceptual support (e. g., [4,22]), problems with developing intuitive and understandable 3D visualizations [18], and more generally discussions about lack of overall adoption of 3D interfaces [2].…”

The desire to have intuitive, seamless 3D interaction fuels research exploration into new approaches to 3D interaction. However, within these explorations we continue to rely on Brunelleschi's perspective for display and map the interactive control space directly into it without much thought on the effect that this default mapping has. In contrast, there are many possibilities for creating 3D interaction spaces, thus making it important to run user studies to examine these possibilities. Options in mapping the control space to the display space for 3D interaction have previously focused on the manipulation of control-display ratio or gain. In this paper, we present a conceptual framework that provides a more general control-display description that includes mappings for flip, rotation, skew, as well as scale(gain). We conduct a user study to explore 3D selection and manipulation tasks in three of these different mappings in comparison to the commonly used mapping (perspective mapping of control space to a perspective display). Our results show interesting differences between interactions and user preferences in these mappings and indicate that all may be considered viable alternatives. Together this framework and study open the door to further exploration of 3D interaction variations.

“…They were unable to conclusively determine that the larger, more immersive display improved performance. Swindells et al [6] followed up on Kasik's study and compared a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment), single wall, and desktop displays on navigation time for finding airplane parts. Their results also suggested that display type does not significantly reduce the time it takes to find objects in a complex 3D model [6].…”

With the proliferation of large screen stereo display systems, major consumer product manufacturers are using this technology to test marketing ideas on consumers. One of the performance factors that is of interest to retailers or manufacturers of retail products is the ability of consumers to quickly and easily locate their products within a retail store. Virtual reality technology can be used to create a virtual store that is easily reconfigurable as a test environment for consumer feedback. The research presented in this paper involves a study that compares the use of a multi-wall immersive environment to a single-wall immersive environment. Users were given a list of products to find in the virtual store. A physical mockup of a shopping cart was created and instrumented in order to be used to navigate throughout the virtual store. The findings indicate that participants in the five-wall immersive environment were significantly faster in locating the objects than the participants using the one-wall immersive environment. In addition, participants in the five-wall condition reported that the shopping cart was easier to use than in the one-wall condition. This study indicates that the use of multiple walls to provide an increased sense of immersion improves the ability of consumers to locate items within a virtual shopping experience.
