Interaction Interfaces for Unrestricted Multimedia Interaction Descriptions

Streszczenie

Proliferation of 3D technology is visible in many aspects of current software developments. It is possible to find elements of 3D in many applications, from computer games, to professional engineering software, to end user software. Fast development of new applications can be driven by reuse of interactive 3D objects that are built for one application and reused in many others. Growing number of such objects are stored in shared repositories and pose a challenge of finding right objects for new application. To efficiently search for interactive 3D objects it is required to provide metadata of object geometry, semantics and its interactions. Existing metadata standards can deal only with the first two areas. In this paper a new approach to interaction metadata is presented. The proposed Multimedia Interaction Model is accompanied by an innovative Interaction Interface concept that allows creating interaction metadata not limited to a predefined set of description elements.
