Overview

On desktop computers, good user interface design is now almost universally recognized as a crucial part of the software and hardware development process. Almost every computing-related product touts itself as "easy to use," "intuitive," or "designed with your needs in mind." With the advent of virtual environments, augmented reality, ubiquitous computing, and other "off-the desktop" technologies, 3D user interface design is now becoming a critical area for developers, students, and researchers to understand. The authors are all at the forefront of this field, have presented on the topic at several conferences, and lead the 3D UI mailing list. They provide information on existing software tools; case studies of 3D UIs in real-world applications; implementation tips for common interaction techniques; and principles for choosing appropriate devices for 3d UIs. This is one of the most exciting areas of research in computer science today, yet there have been very few if any books written about it. 3D User Interfaces will be the first compilation of principles, research results, and real-world examples for 3D UIs, and should become the seminal work on the subject.
