Hands-free navigation in a 3D urban reconstruction: application to the valorization of French "Plans-Reliefs"
Article No.: 27, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
This paper describes a navigation interface by virtual flight over a 3D digital reconstitution of an urban model. Miming a plane with a hand free of any contact with a peripheral allows to navigate in the virtual environment, as a 3D tracking peripheral acquires the hand position and orientation. This way of navigating was put to use with the valorization of the 1:600 model of the city of Verdun in Meuse, France. The aim of this project is to make this 3D model available for the population to interact with. We carried out ergonomic evaluations to identify the lacks of this kind of interface for this specific application and improve it. We then present the gestural particularities and the interface elements we created to achieve an efficient way of navigating in 3D urban-scale models that suits a public as broad as possible.
