What is Navigation in Hypertext Through Virtual Environments about?
Users of hypertext systems require some form of navigation aid or 'browser'. Typically these have been produced as schematic representations of the hypertext network. The advent of 'virtual reality' technology, and particularly less costly forms of this, offers new possibilities for hypertext navigation whereby information can be presented in the form of a virtual environment. Users can then move around the virtual world in much the same conceptual fashion as they move around the real world. Based upon an extensive review of hypertext navigation problems and the aiding systems proposed to deal with these, four different types of navigation aid have been built; these are schematic and spatial representations in two and three dimensions. Of particular interest is the 3D spatial representation, built as a virtual environment in Virtus Walkthrough; the proposition is that such a virtual world navigation aid will offer substantial usability advantages for hypertext databases.
