The Use of Virtual Depth on Stereoscopic Displays for the Information and Interaction Design of Desktop Applications

Autostereoscopic displays enable the perception of three-dimensional user interfaces without additional devices. This opens new fields of application, such as desktop applications at computer workstations. The article gives a summary of the state of the art on the potential of stereoscopic representations and discusses the use of depth for graphical software interfaces. The paper also presents the results of an expert workshop. Experts discussed task-specific design approaches for the presentation of three-dimensional information and developed various mock-ups. Additionally, three pointer-based interaction strategies were derived.
