ABSTRACT

 

Intense work is spent especially in the fields of city planning and tourist information to examine possibilities for combining generic information with graphic data to enhance computer based information desk systems. This article presents an approach towards the creation of a campus information system. This campus information system shall allow the user to navigate and select information with the help of a User Interface that integrates possibilities to use 2D and 3D interaction concepts simultaneously. The VR entities are accessed by user interaction via the render window.
