3D Interfaces to Improve Human Memory

Hosting University

Dublin City University

Overview

This project is all about examining the relation between human memory and environment. Studies show that its easier to recall something, if the person is taken back to the same environment where the event had occured in the first place. Here we try to make use of this fact in developing 3D interface that may be helpful in managing data, and then compare it with its 2D counterparts, to arrive at a conclusion whether or not can 3D interfaces be better at managing out ever increasing volume of data.

Relevance to Host Laboratory

This project is relevent in the sense that if we are able to prove that 3D interfaces can be more user friendly, we can try to switch all the GUI to 3D, thereby revolutionizing the whole idea of user intercfaces. Instead of WINDOWS, we may have ROOMS or something like.
The project is expected to point out the pros and cons of 3D interfaces, thereby laying the foundation stones for research in this direction.
