Interactive style of 3D display of buildings on touch screen

Abstract

This study was concentrated on the effect of different building 's floor number display modes and multi-speeds of view changing, for a firefighter recognized the fire scene through the 3D interface display system using a touch screen .The result showed that : (1) Showing number on floors is the worst way. showing numbers on wall, and on two sides of building whatever fixed, or rotating with the building were better than the way of cube display.(2) It's found the condition of "automatic rotation at fixed speed" at 30s was the most helpful for the decision efficiency, "automatic rotation with optional choicE" the least helpful. Some mechanism and implications were discussed. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
