Extracted Abstract:
—This paper presents a first step in the realization of an interactive user interface that organizes itself according to the user exploration of a database of cultural heritage objects. The first part makes a brief related works and lays the basis of this kind of system according to the enactive paradigm. The second part explains the mechanisms underlying the self- organization of the interface: keywords and cultural heritage objects are 3D graphical entities endowed with autonomous behaviors. They share a common virtual environment. Key- words behaviors are based on bo ̈ ıds flocking simulation while cultural heritage objects appears in an virtual museum which evolves and grows progressively. The result that is presented, is an incremental construction of an interactive and realtime 3D metaphor of virtual museum which is then user-specific. Keywords-information visualization, data exploration, self- organization, enactivism, visual metaphor I.
