“…The navigation in the system is inspired to the paradigm of constrained navigation [39], with the aim of making it usable also for non expert users of 3D applications. The user moves by clicking on small circles of light posited on the floor, in front of the doors of the nodes and along the pathways.…”

In cultural heritage, the use of ontologies makes the description of artworks clearer and self-explanatory, with advantages in terms of interoperability. The current shift towards semantic encoding opens the way to the creation of interfaces that allow the users to build personal paths in heritage collections by exploiting the relations over the artworks.In the attempt to leverage this multiplicity of paths, we designed and implemented a system, called Labyrinth 3D, which integrates the semantic annotation of cultural objects with the interaction style of 3D games. The system immerses the user into a virtual 3D labyrinth, where turning points and paths represent the semantic relations over cultural objects, with the goal of engaging the user in the exploration of the collection.

“…A short description of the artwork, with title, date and creator, is also provided. The navigation is inspired by the paradigm of constrained navigation [15], with the aim of making it usable also for non expert users of 3D applications. The user moves in the virtual space by clicking on small circles posited on the floor (in front of the doors leading to the pathways and along the pathways).…”

“…This study does not explicitly consider specific users or user groups [65], nor does it examine specific user needs, disabilities [33,52], or the role of user experience [10]. Nor does it discuss ease of learning, which is an important dimension of universal access that affects both the uptake and subsequent usage of information technologies, although it should be noted that many videogames adopt a learning-by-doing paradigm of learning, which is highly effective for users who have little propensity for reading instructions or time for undertaking formal learning in order to use information technologies.…”

The design-by-adaptation approach to universal access: learning from videogame technology

This paper proposes an alternative approach to the design of universally accessible interfaces to that provided by formal design frameworks applied ab initio to the development of new software. This approach, design-by-adaptation, involves the transfer of interface technology and/or design principles from one application domain to another, in situations where the recipient domain is similar to the host domain in terms of modelled systems, tasks and users. Using the example of interaction in 3D virtual environments, the paper explores how principles underlying the design of videogame interfaces may be applied to a broad family of visualization and analysis software which handles geographical data (virtual geographic environments, or VGEs). One of the motivations behind the current study is that VGE technology lags some way behind videogame technology in the modelling of 3D environments, and has a less-developed track record in providing the variety of interaction methods needed to undertake varied tasks in 3D virtual worlds by users with varied levels of experience. The current analysis extracted a set of interaction principles from videogames which were used to devise a set of 3D task interfaces that have been implemented in a prototype VGE for formal evaluation.
