Abstract:
Annotation is a key operation for developing understanding of complex
data or extended spaces. We have developed a flexible set of annotation
tools that can be placed in a variety of applications. These tools offer
a full set of capabilities for inserting, iconizing, playing back, and
organizing annotations in a virtual space. They also have an intuitive and
easy-to-use interface for employing these capabilities while immersed in
the virtual environment. We illustrate the annotation system with two
diverse examples: a general data visualization/analysis application and
an architectural walkthrough.
