Multimedia Visual Interface

Humans are endowed with a highly developed vision system, and nowadays the technical aids for creating imagery are available too. Our second most important sensory organ, the ear, has a counterpart - the mouth. But our eyes have no such counterpart. We cannot project mental images for other people to capture. Multimedia systems may develop to a stage where they will provide us with a prothesis to make up for this deficiency. We may be able to produce easily and naturally concrete and abstract projections of our mental images by computer. The paper gives the video interface survey, describes the principle and evaluates the characteristics of Stereo Video Goggles as a portable multimedia visual interface. Also, it evaluates the visualisation effectiveness of visual interfaces, which is being parameterised by visual acuity, linearity, look around, progressive refinement and collaboration possibilities.
