Guided navigation of virtual environments

Proceedings of the 1995 symposium on Interactive 3D graphics - SI3D '95, 1995
This paper presents a new methodology for navigating virtual environments called “The River Analogy.” This analogy provides a new way of thinking about the user's relationship to the virtual environment; guiding the user's continuous and direct input within both space and time allowing a more narrative presentation.

Mining Navigation Patterns in a Virtual Campus

2012 Third International Conference on Emerging Intelligent Data and Web Technologies, 2012
The web designers of Virtual Campuses or web applications, in general, targeting a large number of online users aim to facilitate the navigation of users through the site content. Qualitative and quantitative studies can support web designers by providing information on users' profiles, interest on site content, etc.

Is semitransparency useful for navigating virtual environments?

Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology, 2001
A relevant issue for any Virtual Environment (VE) is the navigational support provided to users who are exploring it. Semitransparency is sometimes exploited as a means to see through occluding surfaces with the aim of improving user navigation abilities and awareness of the VE structure.

Navigation in Virtual Environments

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2001
Spatial orientation in a Virtual Environment (VE) depends on visual recognition and on path integration meaning that the traversed path is integrated from feedback stimuli (visual, vestibular, and kinesthetic). Which stimuli are available, depends on whether an immersive interface is used with head-slaved movement or a non-immersive interface is used ...

Virtual reality navigation system in virtual mall environment

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Communication and Information Processing, 2017
The mall is a shopping center that contains a variety of retail stores and typically also restaurants or movie theater. Therefore, the building has large size and sometimes made people get confused to find a place or destination at the mall. The existing solution to this problem is to provide navigation in the mall such as directions, information ...

A versatile navigation interface for virtual humans in collaborative virtual environments

Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology, 1997
Navigation within the scope of a Networked Collaborative Virtual Environment (NCVE) using an articulated body representation is more complex then just moving the viewpoint based on user input. In such context, navigation englobes problems such as mapping of user's actions on the embodiment and body constraints in addition to the usual ones such as ...

Navigation in virtual environment by the macaque monkey

Behavioural Brain Research, 2004
To determine whether monkeys can navigate a virtual environment, and whether they can represent a virtual environment in their brain, we trained two macaque monkeys to perform a navigation task in a virtual building and conducted behavioral analyses. After learning the task from the first starting point, they were trained to perform the navigation task

Virtual angioscopy and 3D navigation of the aorta

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2016
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the applicability of virtual angioscopy (VA) in different forms of aortic disease where the diagnosis is unclear or uncertain. Five cases are presented where VA helped to establish a correct diagnosis and to choose the best surgical strategy by providing an intuitive image of the aorta.

Navigation system in a virtual environment by gestures

2012 9th International Conference on Communications (COMM), 2012
In this paper we will try to present a new technique of navigation in a virtual environment using dynamic gestures performed with arms and we made a performance analysis of the navigation system. System evaluation has been made using following performance parameters: accuracy, precision and sensitivity of gesture recognition.

Navigating Virtual Teamwork

In a post-pandemic world, the ease with which we can work in virtual settings has increased not only in the workplace but also in schools. It is important that we not only train students for working in a virtual setting individually, but also in a completely virtual environment with others.
