Spin: A 3D Interface for Cooperative WorkAbstract: in this paper, we present a three-dimensional user interface for synchronous co-operative work, Spin, which has been designed for multi-user synchronous real-time applications to be used in, for example, meetings and learning situations. Spin is based on a new metaphor of virtual workspace. We have designed an interface, for an office environment, which recreates the three-dimensional elements needed during a meeting and increases the users scope of interaction. In order to accomplish these objectives, animation and three-dimensional interaction in real time are used to enhance the feeling of collaboration within the three-dimensional workspace. Spin is designed to maintain a maximum amount of information visible. The workspace is created using artificial geometry - as opposed to true three-dimensional geometry - and spatial distortion, a technique that allows all documents and information to be displayed simultaneously while centering the users focus of attention. Users interact with each other via their respective clones, which are three-dimensional representations displayed in each users interface, and are animated with user action on shared documents. An appropriate object manipulation system (direct manipulation, 3D devices and specific interaction metaphors) is used to point out and manipulate 3D documents. Keywords: Synchronous CSCW; CVE; Avatar; Clone; Three-dimensional interface; 3D interactionIntroduction Technological progress has given us access to fields that previously only existed in our imaginations. Progress made in computers and in communication networks has benefited computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), an area where many technical and human obstacles need to be overcome before it can be considered as a valid tool. We need to bear in mind the difficulties inherent in cooperative work and in the users ability to perceive a third dimension. The Shortcomings of Two- Dimensional Interfaces Curr
