- Abstract
- Describes a study of individuals' spatial navigation strategies and a number of performance and preference measures with regard to the design of a 3D visualisation. The underlying semantic space of the user interface consists of a collection of papers from the 3 most recent ACM SIGCHI conference proceedings, visualised as a virtual reality network. This network was automatically constructed based on semantic similarities derived from latent semantic analysis. The project studied the search strategies and general preferences of 11 subjects who used this system to find papers on various topics. The findings should be valuable for designers and evaluators of 3D user interfaces. The results highlight the importance of structural elements in the design of a semantically based user interface, because search strategies of users relied heavily on these mechanisms in the design. Describes the implications for user interface design based on users' psychological models of a semantic space
