ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present an immersive image database navigation system. Images are visualised in a spherical visualisation space and arranged, on a grid, by colour so that images of similar colour are located close to each other, while access to large image sets is possible through a hierarchical browsing structure. The user is wearing a 3-D head mounted display (HMD) and is immersed inside the image sphere. Navigation is performed by head movement using a 6-degree-of-freedom tracker integrated in the HMD in conjunction with a wiimote remote control.
