Associating and presenting metadata of digital archive objects in virtual spaces as synchronized multimedia content

摘要

In this paper, we will propose an idea of associating and presenting metadata (attribute information) of digital archive objects in a virtual space. In the presentation rising a virtual space, we introduce two methods. One is culled InfoLOD, which dynamically, associates arid controls metadata (attribute information) with archive objects (2D/3D images) in the 3D space. We have proposed to control the level of detail(LOD) of attribute information based on orientation and distance. Here, we will extend this idea to control the LOD of hierarchically-described metadata (such as XML data) based on distance. Orientation, and differentiation. LOD control based on differentiation is comparing the hierarchical data of spatial objects visible from one's viewpoint in the 3D space, and presenting the dissimilarities in the objects having similar data. The other is called passive viewing, which realizes users to watch and listen automatic presentation of 3D objects and their metadata. Some of our implementations will be shown to illustrate our ideas.
