Abstract

While there is a lot of research done in the area of 2D or 3D user interfaces (UIs) construction, comparatively little is known about systematic approaches to designing and developing integrated 2D/3D UIs and applications. The previously developed Multimedia Modeling Language (MML) provides a top down approach for a model driven development of 2D/3D UIs and applications. The MML Structure Model and Media Components provide support for including X3D based content and automatic generation of application skeletons. We use a work instruction manual for a woodchipper as an example to illustrate how to apply MML. We discuss the ramifications of this approach and opportunities for some improvements.
