Summary on Grant Application Form
CAVE-like display systems (immersive projection technology or I PT displays) are rapidly replacing head-mounted displays as the display of choice in applications that benefit from a high level of immersion. We propose an in-depth study of interaction within IPT, and argue that basing interaction on techniques developed for other types of immersive systems is a flawed approach. We distinguish between three common situations of use of an IPT: singleuser, groups of co-located users and geographically distributed users collaborating in a shared virtual environment. Through a series of design and experimental phases we will demonstrate interaction techniques customised for these usage scenarios. The results of this project will be relevant for all developers, engineers and scientists who anticipate prototyping applications on next-generation immersive systems. We plan to make the systems we develop available for common use.
