A psychophysical method of adjustment was used for aligning a computer-generated graphic virtual pointer with the designated targets on the image of a real hemisphere surface. The known conflict between binocular fusion and object occlusion cues was confirmed to play a major role as an extra depth cue. Surface texture density had significant impact on real-virtual object alignment task. A model was proposed for the process of detecting the interactions of real-virtual objects and guidelines were also given for augmented reality interface design accordingly.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

Rather than build upon what is already done they will often redo the work. The key problem that sustains this repetition of effort is the lack of a standard and centralized way to communicate and share the knowledge that results from the analysis. Software architecture for reuse and sharing of analysis knowledge is described, which incorporates a number of Internet technologies. The architecture is based around a visual modelling scheme and can be configured to adapt to the requirements of different organisational requirements.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

However searching the VRML model requires interactive exploration by the user. It is more difficult for the viewer to quickly identify the location of an object of interest in the video image, if a search is run in the database to return the location of an object or objects in the image. It is suggested that there are a number of instances where it would be useful to distort a photo realistic modelled scene to draw attention to specific-portions, ranging from the representation of uncertainty in archaeological presentations or planning proposals, to the identification of the location of an object of interest in a video clip or live video frame. The advantages and disadvantages of some possible approaches are discussed.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

In other words, this interactive system is based on the effort to meld our consciousness and unconsciousness in complete harmony. It is difficult to achieve this through traditional logic-based interaction. We succeeded in reaching this goal by setting as our target of scientific computing images from the above traditional Japanese media.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

Most of these techniques rely on the construction of a navigation tree without accounting much for the structure of the underlying hypertext graph. Therefore such views are heavily dependent on the order of page visited. In most cases, they are limited to one session and cannot easily represent large collections of pages. We propose a clustering method based [L. Tauscher et al., (1997)] on a focus [M. Hascoet] on the structure of the underlying hypertext graph. Our aim is to use this method to automatically organize visited pages into a hierarchically clustered graph to provide multiscale visualization of pages visited during several sessions. Our initial experiments with navigation history are promising. We believe that our clustering method is general enough to be applied to other data with an underlying highly connected graph structure.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

Our real-time nonphotorealistic rendering technique aims at abstract, comprehensible, and vivid drawings of assemblies of polygonal 3D urban objects. It takes into account related principles in cartography, cognition, and nonphotorealism. Technically, the geometry of a building is rendered using expressive line drawings to enhance the edges, two-tone or three-tone shading to draw the faces, and simulated shadows. The edge enhancement offers several degrees of freedom, such as interactively changing the style, width, tilt, color, transparency, and length of the strokes. Traditional drawings of cities and panoramas inspired the tone shading that achieves a pleasing visual color effect. The rendering technique can be applied not only to city models but to polygonal shapes in general.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.
