“…By attributing metadata and content to layouts, it is possible to create a '3D file system', which extends the 'doing when seeing' paradigm to the duplication of existing projects [42]. This idea can be further extended to the problem of searching for content or projects, in that search terms that are entered and subsequent interactions can be linked together, thereby bootstrapping a search functionality that looks and feels like a semantic search functionality but really just links together search entries with behaviors close in time [43].…”

3D virtual reality spaces, whether running on desktop environments or on immersive displays, have been noted to support a radically new and highly stimulating way of working with digital content in a variety of application domains. At the same time, research in recent decades has produced a number of experimental results showing that the use of 3D, as opposed to 2D interfaces, can lead to performance improvements from a wide range of aspects, including the ability to comprehend and retain knowledge, ability to work collaboratively in more creative and effective ways, and ability to carry out workflows integrating numerous sources of information in less time. In this paper, we first review the relevant literature; then, we describe an exploratory study that we carried out with test subjects, both in a 3D desktop virtual environment and in a 2D web-based environment, while collecting eye tracking data. In the study, subjects were presented with a set of multimedia content on a range of topics within the field of astronomy, based on which they were subsequently asked to fill out a set of questionnaires. By comparing the 2D and 3D cases in terms of correctness of answers, time taken to perform the task, pupil dilation measurements, subjects’ self-reported difficulty assessments, as well as various kinds of high-level interaction patterns employed during the task (in 3D), we were able to identify a set of descriptive markers which may be relevant to the prediction of users’ effectiveness in virtual reality workspaces. In a weaker sense, the results also seem to support previous research works claiming improved effectiveness in 3D spaces compared to 2D web-based interfaces, although further work is needed to more clearly identify the constraints within which such benefits can be guaranteed.

Numerous studies indicate that in many particular cases, spatial 3D digital environments can offer more effective methods for information and knowledge sharing than 2D graphical user interfaces. This effectiveness arises from the unique ability of 3D spaces to present users with different types of content, such as written documents, web-based content, audio-visual materials, and even interactive 3D models, all at once and in a spatially meaningful arrangement. For instance, in a 3D virtual space, related documents can be placed closer to each other than those focusing on different topics. Similarly, content meant to convey key points can also be designed to appear relatively larger than less prominent documents. Such spatial arrangements help convey semantic relationships implicitly, allowing users to quickly understand the content and form more memorable impressions with less effort. However, it is not fully understood when and how these potential benefits of 3D environments can be fully realized. In this paper, we focus on this question, specifically in the context of desktop 3D environments, aiming to understand the conditions under which they can lead to improved performance and/or less cognitive load compared to 2D digital interfaces. In particular, we present the results of two experiments in which we compared user performance, eye tracking data (including pupil dilation), and a set of qualitative measures during a learning task carried out in a 2D environment and two different 3D virtual reality scenarios. The notable differences between these 3D scenarios -- as well as disparities in the corresponding results -- allowed us to draw two conclusions: first, that 3D spatial environments can indeed lead to the reduction of cognitive load compared to 2D interfaces, and second, such reductions in cognitive load are more effective in 3D spaces that require less (virtual) spatial locomotion, even at the expense of a greater number of camera rotations. Together, these results suggest that the ability of VR to reduce users' cognitive load may have more to do with the spatial qualities of the content arrangement than with the spatial situatedness of the users.
