3D User Interaction
In 3D user interaction (3DUI) or 3D user interfaces (3DUIs) the human interacts with a computer with an aspect of three-dimensional space. With its roots in virtual reality, 3DUI is now broadly considered to refer to many different domains along the virtuality continuum or a general term for interaction in reality-based interfaces. This includes such domain as, "virtual, mixed and augmented reality, tangible interaction, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, context-aware computing, handheld, or mobile interaction, perceptual and affective computing as well as lightweight, tacit or passive interaction". There is also a strong gaming and entertainment component to 3DUIs, especially with the rise of such devices as the Nintendo Wii (Wiimote) and Apple iPhone. The background of 3DUIs has been compiled into what has become the standard reference of 3DUIs.
