d widget wish list i am very interested in hearing from all of you who are using or implementing d interactive applications what types of d widgets you would like to have in your applications a d widget is usually located in the same scene as other d objects of the application it may let you manipulate application data the camera d objects in the scene and so on or view the status of the application or d objects via the widget s shape color position orientation and so on or do whatever i missed but you think is possible for example a manipulative widget can be virtual trackball shown as a partially transparent sphere super imposed on the object to be rotated a feedback widget can be a ruler with ends anchored to objects the length of the ruler changes as the objects move and a numeric value is shown on the ruler indicating the distance a widget can provide both manipulation and feedback for example the ruler can be used to change the distance between the objects along its own axis please e mail me or post your opinions on d interaction the information i gathered will help me design a d ui construction tool your help is very much appreciated tony lau tlau cs ubc ca m sc student dept of computer science
