“…Whereas in the previous section, we outlined a set of operations in which individual 2D display panels could be created and duplicated, we further extended the application of the DWS paradigm to the duplication of existing 2D content layouts as a higher-level entity [17]. This approach, if shown Special Issue to be practical, would be an example of higher-order structural operations.…”

“…The operations outlined in the previous section do in fact include the selection of multiple 2D display panels and their duplication as a unit. However, in [17], a further step was taken in that existing groups of 2D layouts were associated with a unique project name, along with other semantic attributes such as topic, date and location at which the project was created. Such metadata attributes can potentially help trigger episodic memories, helping users to recall the project that should be loaded for duplication.…”

The advent of 2D graphical user interfaces in the 1980s shifted user interactions from line-based terminals to icon-based interfaces. As smartphones emerged in the 2010s, portable 2D graphical interfaces became a reality, liberating users from being confined to a single location when accessing digital services. These transformations have profoundly altered our understanding of digital information systems, with impacts that cannot be easily quantified. Current advancements in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) are on the verge of ushering in the next significant leap in cognitive expansion, introducing portable and highly contextual spatial interfaces, also sometimes referred to as Digital Realities (DRs). As a result, users now anticipate the ability to engage with an increasing array and variety of digital content in ways that are more contextualized and tailored to their needs, taking into account factors such as time, location, personalized goals and user-specific histories. In this paper, we aim to give an overview of cognitive aspects relevant to content integration and management specifically in DR environments, and to propose solutions and / or best practices to address them. Our discussion is centered around a paradigm called the Doing When-Seeing (DWS) paradigm, which we propose for the design of Digital Reality interfaces. We demonstrate the applicability of this paradigm to the design of interfaces for creating content, organizing content, and semantically representing and retreiving content within 3D Digital Reality environments.

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.
