Collaborative Interaction in Large Explorative Environments
Jason Wolfgang Woodworth, David Broussard, Christoph W. Borst · Symposium on Spatial User Interaction · 2019
Building collaborative VR applications for exploring and interacting with large or abstract spaces presents several problems. Given a large space and a potentially large number of possible interactions, it is expected that users will need a tool selection menu that will be easily accessible at any point in the environment. Given the collaborative nature, users will also want to be able to maintain awareness of each other within the environment and communicate about what they are seeing or doing. We present a demo that shows solutions to these problems developed in the context of a collaborative geological dataset viewer.
