The design of a 3D space in 3D user interfaces has an impact on the user experience. This paper presents a small user experience study of service applications on a 3D user interface with different 3D background contexts. The aim is to investigate the impact on user expectations for activity, service (3D object) population and relationship between the objects and space. Our studies show that people make a strong determination of what occurs in a 3D space based on the visual appearance. Users interpret the functionality of the space (room), degree of privacy implied by the space and how the space should be populated with applications.
