Dynamic generation of virtual spaces and incremental query formulation using spatial browsing

First, we will describe the concept and implementation issues of our "Dynamically Extendible Museum", a system which enables the users to create their favorite virtual spaces dynamically and incrementally from databases in order to present the objects retrieved by the user's queries. Second, we propose a mechanism to incrementally formulate user's query by letting the user select objects in a virtual space. We also discuss implementation issues of our prototype systems using museum metaphors to demonstrate our ideas.
