Uma Proposta de Camadas de Objetos de Interface para Realidade Virtual

Abstract

A key aspect present in Virutal Reality-based environments is immersion, a feature responsible for the user\'s sensation or feeling of presence in this environment. Sometimes, in those environments, commons to two-dimensional interface widgets (interface elements) are used to provide interaction mechanisms. However, due the peculiar nature differences inherent to the distinct paradigms, those routines may cause a decreased immersion sense for the user. In this context, this work propose a layer building strategy using interface objects for supervision, visualization and control, associated to Virtual Reality systems, aiming to provide a greater immersion in the equivalent use. As proof of concept, those strategies were integrated to Virtual Reality systems to monitoring and real-time control of an Electric Power substation of a concessionaire (Cemig) which supports the elaborated strategies.
