Abstract:
In this paper, we focus on a possibility to have a personal 3D GUI inside a virtual environment on tablet device. We describe the visual design process and user experience evaluation of four 3D GUIs in a virtual environment. A user evaluation was conducted by using a structured pair evaluation procedure, where we adapted a concept walkthrough method with non-functional visually high quality prototypes. We found that participants would like to have their personal 3D GUI in a virtual environment. However, the visual design of the 3D GUI should create a secure and private feeling for them. Also, participants did not want the GUI to occlude too much with the background. The visual indication is needed also when a user transfers items from personal GUI to the virtual environment and for showing the user's active position between the GUI and virtual environment. We point out also other issues for interaction and visual designers.
