Enhancing 3D File Search with Landscapes and Personal Histories: Exploring the Possibilities of TerraSearch+

摘要: Most users today have difficulty locating files due to memory, i.e., an ability recreate the personal history of where they placed document in first place. Microsoft XP search provides standard file functions according human semantic memory. However, depending exclusively on this system for acquisition can be problematic and very limiting who perform well 3D space. The prototype utilizes three-dimensional environments that are augmented with second-order information depicts relationships between first-order properties by a visualization system. This maintains user trace data way enhances their locate place, time, content. Early results cognitive walkthroughs questionnaires indicate could more easily find through tools, but unfamiliarity interface barrier acceptance.
