Abstract
Traditional interfaces for interacting with 3D models in virtual environments lack support for spatiotemporal 3D models such as point clouds and meshes generated by markerless capture systems. We present a virtual reality (VR) interface that enables the user to perform spatial and temporal interactions with spatiotemporal 3D models. To accommodate the high volume of spatiotemporal data, we provide a data format for spatiotemporal 3D models which has an average speedup of 3.84 and a space reduction of 43.9% over traditional model file formats. We enable the user to manipulate spatiotemporal 3D data using gestures intuitive from real-world experience or by using a VR user interface similar to traditional 2D visual interactions.
