Chapter 3: 3D User Interface Output Hardware

This chapter begins our discussion of the hardware commonly used in 3D user interfaces. We examine visual, auditory, and haptic display devices and see how they affect 3D UI design and development. Additionally, we describe the characteristics of different output devices and develop some general strategies for choosing appropriate hardware.
