Abstract

Physical and physiological properties play an important role in how we perceive and interact with the world around us. The subtle perceptual effects are often overlooked when mapping the environment on screens such as computer monitors or PDA displays. This article shows some ways to improve interactive exploration of virtual scenes through panoramic photography, by the effect of adding the subtleties of physical aspects of the human body and interaction with the environment. The same principle of taking clues from the physicality of the world around us to enhance interaction can be extended to other applications as well.
