Abstract

In this paper we propose the use of immersive virtual reality to visualize and explore query results in 3D object retrieval. These results are shown in a three-dimensional virtual space as 3D objects, organized according to their similarity to the query. Therefore, instead of browsing through a list of thumbnails, the user can explore the query results by navigating among 3D objects in a virtual space and even manipulate these objects for closer a inspection. We performed a preliminary user study and concluded that the proposed solution provides better performance than traditional approaches.
