Hallo!
Auf Slashdot erschien am Montag eine Kritik zu dem in diesem Jahr
erschienenen Buch
3D User Interfaces
Doug A. Bowman, Ernst Kruijff, Joseph J. LaViola Jr., Ivan Poupyrev:
Addison-Wesley Publishing
ISBN: 0201758679
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201758679
Der Rezensent schreibt auf
http://books.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/13/1944207&from=rss unter
anderem:
"The third and largest part of the book is on 3D interaction techniques.
The first chapter of this part discusses the various ways that have been
devised in the past to perform 3D selection and manipulation of objects.
A vast number of techniques are presented in this chapter, from various
pointing and virtual hand techniques to widgets for rotating an object.
The following chapters discuss techniques to allow navigation through
virtual worlds and user interfaces, in particular techniques for
traveling and pathfinding. The following chapter is on system control
and it discusses how to control the system via commands, such as using
graphical menus, voice and gestural commands, or real-world tools.
Finally, this part of the book contains a chapter on symbolic input,
i.e. communicating text or numbers to the system, in the context of 3D UIs."
"Throughout the book, there are useful guidelines on designing usable
user interfaces. Following these guidelines will probably not give you a
perfect 3D user interface, but it will definitely help you avoid the
common mistakes and pitfalls. It would have been nice if all the
guidelines in the book had been put all together in a separate appendix
in addition to having them spread out all over the book."
