Adaptive Content Layout in 3D Spaces

This chapter presents a systematic framework for personalizing workspace layouts in 3D Virtual Reality (VR) environments through a structured template language, enabling dynamic adaptation of content and layout to individual user preferences and task requirements. It introduces a hierarchical template system for content layout specification and transformation, complemented by an associative semantic search to enhance workspace relevance and efficiency by linking semantically related content. The research hypothesizes that such personalized VR workspaces significantly improve task performance in speed and accuracy. An innovative service is proposed for efficient digital content management, tailored to workflow demands and user preferences, focusing on optimizing content selection, layout creation, and the alignment of user preferences with the workflow’s temporality and the 3D space’s geometry. The objective is to explore the impact of personalized workspace reconfiguration on cognition within VR, aiming to contribute to a deeper understanding of this dynamic and guide future VR technology developments.
