Task-sensitive Cinematography Interfaces for Interactive 3D Learning Environments
Interactive3Dlearningenvironmentscanproviderichproblemsolving experiences with unparalleled visual impact. In these environments, students interactively solve problems by directing their avatars to navigate through complex worlds, transport entities from one location to another, and manipulate devices. However, realtime camera control is critical to their successful deployment. To create effective learning experiences, a virtualcamera must in realtime “film” theiractivitiesinamannerthatmostclearlydepictsthesalientaspects of the tasks students are performing. To address thisproblem, we have developed the cinematic task modeling framework for automated realtime task-sensitive camera control in 3D environments. Cinematic task models dynamically map the intentional structure of users’ activities to visual structures that continuouslydepict the most relevant actions and objects in the environment. By exploiting cinematic task models, a cinematography interface to 3D learning environ...
