A natural language interface exploits the conceptual simplicity and naturalness of the language to create a high-level user-friendly communication channel between humans and machines. One of the promising applications of such interfaces is generating visual interpretations of semantic content of a given natural language that can be then visualized either as a static scene or a dynamic animation. This survey discusses requirements and challenges of developing such systems and reports 26 graphical systems that exploit natural language interfaces and addresses both artificial intelligence and visualization aspects. This work serves as a frame of reference to researchers and to enable further advances in the field.

This paper builds on previous research into the development of the TMap3D system which allows for the creation of historical 3D spatiotemporal visualisations from natural language narratives [1]. This paper addresses the use of deductive 3D modelling techniques to generate the realism of the object behaviours, the environmental conditions and their interactions within the visualisation. The authors define deductive 3D modelling techniques as follows: (i) Given an object and its specification the Vist3D system (formally TMap3D) can deduce the object's visualised behaviour in response to a given "real world" instruction from the natural language narrative. (ii) The Vist3D system can deduce visualised environmental conditions from the natural language narrative. (iii) The Vist3D system can deduce the interactions between the objects (e.g. ship) and the environmental conditions (e.g. rough sea) to generate, for example, a ship rolling in rough seas.

This paper discusses the capabilities of the Vist3D system which enables non-technical users, specifically users without knowledge of 3D modelling techniques, interface design, data manipulation and creation of multimedia artefacts to build historical 3D spatiotemporal visualisations from natural language narratives. The user (e.g. museum curator, people involved with cultural heritage) need only supply a narrative of the event and a specification of the artefacts, e.g. buildings, ships. Specifically this paper demonstrates the application of the Vist3D system in the development of a visualisation of Cape Town Harbour during the 1890s. It shows how experts (e.g. in history, cultural heritage, archaeology) can more easily create 3D visualisations without the need for an in depth understanding of complex software or data gathering technologies. The system allows for models of artefacts and visualisations to be created that could enhance static museum displays. Digital heritage. Spatiotemporal. 3D Modelling. Reconstruction of events.
