Abstract

Interaction paradigms based on 3D interfaces and virtual reality offer new possibilities to overcome the limitations of query by example. We present a system that lets users navigate a 3D world where they can take photographs to query a database of images by content. Furthermore, users can interactively customize the virtual world by adding objects to the scene and editing object properties such as colors and textures.
