Cyberspace, a visua
3、lization of the computer environment, is a practical application of Virtual Reality, providing amore natural interface between the user and the computer. Designing virtual worlds is a challenging departure from traditional interfacedesign. This document contains information on the basic concepts beh

Introduction: Defining Interface & Cyberspace Cyberspace: A new universe, a parallel universe created and sustained by the worlds computers and communication lines. A world in which the global traffic of knowledge, secrets, measurements, indi
5、cators, entertainments, and alter-human agency takes on form: sights,sounds, presences never seen on the surface of earth blossoming in a vast electronic night. Cyberspace is a consensual hallucination that these people have created. Its like, with this equipment, you can agree to share the same hal
6、lucinations. In effect, theyre creating a world. Its not really a place, its not really space. Its notional space. Cyberspace represents one of the most potent and impressive visualization tools ever created.Now, entire universes, whether they be of our design or others, not only lay at our fingerti
7、ps, but surround and envelop us as well. It represents the next generation in the evolution of the human-computer interface medium. Virtual reality allows a more naturalized interface with the computer, that goes far beyond the Graphics User Interface (GUI), point & click window environments that ar
8、e so popular now. With virtual reality, the user is surrounded by his environment, and an interface can be established not through the conventional keyboard or mouse, but through more complex tracking systems that keep record of hand and head orientation. The concept of the Virtual Reality terminal
9、was introduced by Gibson, along with his concept of Cyberspace. The progression of distributed system access has progressed from the text terminal to the X window workstation, and Virtual Reality is the next step in interactive access to multi-user computer systems. As the evolution from the text te
10、rminal to the X workstation brought about advancement in both visualization and problem solving, the giant leap into Cyberspace will radically transform the way we interact with computers. The transformation of data into geometric representations will allow us to view complex systems as simplified s
11、hapes from afar, or as a complex matrix of networked modules from an interior view. The possibilities that cyberspace represents cannot even begin to reveal themselves until the first prototype systems have been implemented. It is such an new concept, one which represents a whole new medium of exist
12、ence, that we have no frame of reference to make predictions on its usefulness. An interface is a surface forming a boundary between two regions. Virtual Reality allows the user to break through the interface barrier to interact directly with various information forms in an inclusive environment.2.
13、Design Considerations Since virtual reality transcends the two dimensional existence we have been forced into through the use of convensional computer monitors, it also makes most traditional theories of interface design obsolete. Operating within an inclusive three dimensional environment requires
14、special physical and psychological considerations. An important design consideration stemming from inclusion is that while we interact within a virtual world, we are simutaneously inhabiting the physical world. People are functionally attuned to the earths gravity and to vertical position. Perceptua
15、l conflicts between the virtual and physical worlds cause physical discomfort and feelings of disorientation that can last well beyond the period of inclusion. In order to overcome these natural conflicts it becomes necessary to introduce several types of reference points. The most common so far is
16、the extended ground plane which forms an artificial horizon to be used in order to gain personal orientation. However, this causes conflicts with information from the inner ear. Another personal point of refrence would be virtual body parts (ie. the virtual hand). Self representations have proven to
17、 be one of the most engaging parts of the primative virtual realities that exist today. The virtual hand provides a focus point, removing senses of vertigo and disorientation. System performance plays a part in design considerations. A slow system or network can cause dizziness; the lag is especiall
18、y noticeable when tracking systems are part of the environment. For example,a lag between when you turn your head and when the screen updates is quite disturbing. Another possibility which is introduced with Cyberspace is sensory overload. Individual learning and preformance styles differ greatly, a
19、nd without proper calibration an immersive experience can be confusing and even disturbing. According to Bricken, there are four general categories of VR behavior that have to be considered when designing the interface: Relocation - simple movement Manipulation - modification of environment Construc
20、tion - creation of environment Navigation - long range location and movement In order to be immersive there can be no menu bar, no list of icons. Without the keyboard there is no hot-keys. All traditional methods of interface are not possible inside the virutal world. New methods of interaction for
21、the above four catagories must be designed - that is the challenge of cyberspace interface design.3. Process Visualization3.1. Surface Activation Most current views of Cyberspace seem to point towards a polygon-based environment. Therefore,in order to keep the experience immersive, no menus can magi
22、cally pop-up. Instead, the polygons themselves must be used as an interface method. Since a single shape may have more than one function, it is therefore logical to assign function activation to the surfaces of the object. Each surface then, has to check for collision, and then decide how to react a
23、s another object approaches it. This could mean that while youre evaluating a certain button, it would also be evaluating you. To make the interface more friendly, surfaces could announce (through text messages or perhaps digitized sound) what their function is. It also follows, that the surface wou
24、ld highlight itself in order to indicate to the user that it is about to be activated, or has been activated. For example, picture a text editor as a box. To edit the file within it you would approach the top, to check the spelling you would approach another side, to delete it- yet another side. Thi
25、s may seem a bit cryptic, but with appropriate labeling (either graphic, sound, or text) it would be far easier than current interface methods. Surfaces could have a variety of functions - from sending a file or activating a process, to teleporting the user to another network. Certain surfaces would
26、 have to be solid, or without any type of functionality,in order to allow object manipulation. A primary factor in how an object physically appeared would then be based upon the functionality of its surfaces - this could be important as a distinguishing factor between objects.3.2. Connections & Port
27、s The computer world is moving more towards network environments, not just externally, but internally.Internal network connections (ie. a network of processes on a computer connected by intracomputer pipes & sockets) are an integral part of many unix-based workstation environments. Virtual reality i
28、s perfect for design, representation, and interaction with these internal connections. Consider another function for the surface of a polygon. Instead of reacting to a users approach,what if you could hook a network pipe up to a port on the surface. Then, a stream of data, from some other object, co
29、uld be transmitted to the object through the pipe and socket. The connecting pipes could be attatched and detatched to different objects at the whim of the user. With a little thought, design, and programming, a neural-net could be created within the virtual environment with each neuron being an obj
30、ect, and each neural-connection being a pipe.3.3. Autonomous Entities Another aspect of a virtual environment and its interface would be virtual entities, and our interactions with them. Certain system utilties (daemons) will no doubt take form within the electronic void of Cyberspace. These daemons
31、 will have special interface requirements, seeming more like conversations than commands. Their full knowledge of both the system and virtual environments make them quite a complex interface puzzle.4. Data Representation Where interacting with static data is easier than active processes, static data
32、 requires a more acurate representation of the actual content. Whether index design will mimic reality, or use the advantages of VR to evolve is yet to be seen. Designs for VR card-catalogs are being designed at the same time as complex multi-dimensional hyperstacks. How to catalog information for easy retrieval has always been an interface problem. Using virtual file cabinets or spiral staircases that extend into infinity does not seem very innovative. The question is whether to index information in a manner that people are used to,
