Spatial Narrative achieves communication of content with an
almost completely intuitive interface. Instead of wondering which
button to push next or where they have to move, they discover new
worlds and new information; they are amused, entertained and delighted.
Spatial Narrative combines the 'frozen-moment' technique and a
unique interactive display mechanism to create virtual worlds over
which the user has lateral viewing control.
Monitors mounted at eye-level on vertical poles are mapped to a virtual
environment with a circle of 360 perspectives on an interior scene. By
physically moving the screen around the vertical axis laterally, the user
explores each frozen moment. Because the user is physically moving around
the content and recognizing each form in spatial relationship to its
surrounding form, optically the content takes on a three-dimensional quality.
There are no buttons. The interface consists of two vertical handles on
either side of the monitor as an indication to grab and rotate the assembly.
A short list of applications may be found
here.
