Comparing Immersive and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality User Interfaces for Management of Telecommunication Networks
Mohsen Kahani, Peter Beadle · 1997
Networks are becoming increasingly complex as a result of new technologies in hardware and software. Consequently, the traditional WIMP-based user interfaces are no longer suitable for management of large and high-speed broadband networks. In this paper we introduce two kinds of three-dimensional user interfaces: an immersive virtual reality user interface and a WWW-based flat screen 3D collaborative user interface. A comparison of the approaches is also made to show the merits and pitfalls of each.
