Atlantico | Un vent nouveau sur l'info Dr Dave | Technology Prescriptions Screens have traditionally been oriented vertically to face the user. However, an increasing number of screens are available in horizontal ("table-top") form factors. When desiging a 3D user interface, one of the first tasks is to define the coordinate space (i.e. which direction is "up", "right", and "forward"?). If we pick a coordinate space that corresponds to the real world, then for vertical screen "up" and "right" are along the screen edges, and "forward" (in a right-hand coordinate system) is out of the screen toward the viewer. Figure 1. In contrast, for a horizontal screen "up" is out of the screen and "right" and "forward" are along the edges. Figure 2. In this way, a particular screen orientation therefore lends itself more naturally to certain experiences. This project aims to build an orientation-independant user interface for a holographic display, which would naturally lend itself to the type of display being used.
