1.Introduction:

DefiningInterface&Cyberspace

Cyberspace:

Anewuniverse,aparalleluniversecreatedandsustainedbytheworld’scomputersandcommunicationlines.Aworldinwhichtheglobaltrafficofknowledge,secrets,measurements,indicators,entertainments,andalter-humanagencytakesonform:

Cyberspaceisaconsensualhallucinationthatthesepeoplehavecreated.It’slike,withthisequipment,youcanagreetosharethesamehallucinations.Ineffect,they’recreatingaworld.It’snotreallyaplace,itsnotreallyspace.It’snotionalspace.

TheconceptoftheVirtualRealityterminalwasintroducedbyGibson,alongwithhisconceptofCyberspace.TheprogressionofdistributedsystemaccesshasprogressedfromthetextterminaltotheXwindowworkstation,andVirtualRealityisthenextstepininteractiveaccesstomulti-usercomputersystems.

2.DesignConsiderations

Sincevirtualrealitytranscendsthetwodimensionalexistencewehavebeenforcedintothroughtheuseofconvensionalcomputermonitors,italsomakesmosttraditionaltheoriesofinterfacedesignobsolete.Operatingwithinaninclusivethreedimensionalenvironmentrequiresspecialphysicalandpsychologicalconsiderations.

Animportantdesignconsiderationstemmingfrominclusionisthatwhileweinteractwithinavirtualworld,wearesimutaneouslyinhabitingthephysicalworld.Peoplearefunctionallyattunedtotheearth’sgravityandtoverticalposition.Perceptualconflictsbetweenthevirtualandphysicalworldscausephysicaldiscomfortandfeelingsofdisorientationthatcanlastwellbeyondtheperiodofinclusion.

Inordertoovercomethesenaturalconflictsitbecomesnecessarytointroduceseveraltypesofreferencepoints.Themostcommonsofaristhe"extendedgroundplane"whichformsanartificialhorizontobeusedinordertogainpersonalorientation.However,thiscausesconflictswithinformationfromtheinnerear.

Anotherpersonalpointofrefrencewouldbevirtualbodyparts（ie.thevirtualhand）.Selfrepresentationshaveproventobeoneofthemostengagingpartsoftheprimativevirtualrealitiesthatexisttoday.Thevirtualhandprovidesafocuspoint,removingsensesofvertigoanddisorientation.

Systemperformanceplaysapartindesignconsiderations.Aslowsystemornetworkcancausedizziness;thelagisespeciallynoticeablewhentrackingsystemsarepartoftheenvironment.Forexample,alagbetweenwhenyouturnyourheadandwhenthescreenupdatesisquitedisturbing.

AnotherpossibilitywhichisintroducedwithCyberspaceissensoryoverload.Individuallearningandpreformancestylesdiffergreatly,andwithoutpropercalibrationan"immersive"experiencecanbeconfusingandevendisturbing.

AccordingtoBricken,therearefourgeneralcategoriesofVRbehaviorthathavetobeconsideredwhendesigningtheinterface:

•Relocation-simplemovement

•Manipulation-modificationofenvironment

•Construction-creationofenvironment

•Navigation-longrangelocationandmovement

Inordertobeimmersivetherecanbenomenubar,nolistoficons.Withoutthekeyboardthereisno"hot-keys".Alltraditionalmethodsofinterfacearenotpossibleinsidethevirutalworld.Newmethodsofinteractionfortheabovefourcatagoriesmustbedesigned-thatisthechallengeofcyberspaceinterfacedesign.

3.ProcessVisualization

3.1.SurfaceActivation

MostcurrentviewsofCyberspaceseemtopointtowardsapolygon-basedenvironment.Therefore,inordertokeeptheexperienceimmersive,nomenuscan"magically"pop-up.Instead,thepolygonsthemselvesmustbeusedasaninterfacemethod.Sinceasingleshapemayhavemorethanonefunction,itisthereforelogicaltoassignfunctionactivationtothesurfacesoftheobject.

Eachsurfacethen,hastocheckforcollision,andthendecidehowtoreactasanotherobjectapproachesit.Thiscouldmeanthatwhileyou’reevaluatingacertainbutton,itwouldalsobeevaluatingyou.Tomaketheinterfacemorefriendly,surfacescould"announce"（throughtextmessagesorperhapsdigitizedsound）whattheirfunctionis.Italsofollows,thatthesurfacewould"highlight"itselfinordertoindicatetotheuserthatitisabouttobeactivated,orhasbeenactivated.

Forexample,pictureatexteditorasabox.Toeditthefilewithinityouwouldapproachthetop,tocheckthespellingyouwouldapproachanotherside,todeleteit-yetanotherside.Thismayseemabitcryptic,butwithappropriatelabeling（eithergraphic,sound,ortext）itwouldbefareasierthancurrentinterfacemethods.

Surfacescouldhaveavarietyoffunctions-fromsendingafileoractivatingaprocess,toteleportingtheusertoanothernetwork.Certainsurfaceswouldhavetobe’solid’,orwithoutanytypeoffunctionality,inordertoallowobjectmanipulation.Aprimaryfactorinhowanobjectphysicallyappearedwouldthenbebaseduponthefunctionalityofitssurfaces-thiscouldbeimportantasadistinguishingfactorbetweenobjects.

3.2.Connections&Ports

Thecomputerworldismovingmoretowardsnetworkenvironments,notjustexternally,butinternally.Internalnetworkconnections（ie.anetworkofprocessesonacomputerconnectedbyintracomputerpipes&sockets）areanintegralpartofmanyunix-basedworkstationenvironments.Virtualrealityisperfectfordesign,representation,andinteractionwiththeseinternalconnections.

Consideranotherfunctionforthesurfaceofapolygon.Insteadofreactingtoauser’sapproach,whatifyoucouldhookanetwork"pipe"uptoaportonthesurface.Then,astreamofdata,fromsomeotherobject,couldbetransmittedtotheobjectthroughthepipeandsocket.Theconnecting"pipes"couldbeattatchedanddetatchedtodifferentobjectsatthewhimoftheuser.Withalittlethought,design,andprogramming,aneural-netcouldbecreatedwithinthevirtualenvironmentwitheachneuronbeinganobject,andeachneural-connectionbeingapipe.

3.3.AutonomousEntities

Anotheraspectofavirtualenvironmentanditsinterfacewouldbevirtualentities,andourinteractionswiththem.Certainsystemutilties（daemons）willnodoubttakeformwithintheelectronicvoidofCyberspace.Thesedaemonswillhavespecialinterfacerequirements,seemingmorelikeconversationsthancommands.Theirfullknowledgeofboththesystemandvirtualenvironmentsmakethemquiteacomplexinterfacepuzzle.

4.DataRepresentation

Whereinteractingwithstaticdataiseasierthanactiveprocesses,staticdatarequiresamoreacuraterepresentationoftheactualcontent.Whetherindexdesignwillmimicreality,orusetheadvantagesofVRtoevolveisyettobeseen.DesignsforVRcard-catalogsarebeingdesignedatthesametimeascomplexmulti-dimensionalhyperstacks.
