Immersive and Non-immersive Virtual Reality Techniques Applied to Telecommunication Network Management

In this paper, we will introduce two different three dimensional VR-based user interface for telecommunication network management. The first one is an immersive system, using HMD and other 3D input devices. The other is a WWW-based flat screen 3D collaborative user interface. The architecture of each system and our observation from it will be described. Then, a comparison will be made to show the merits and pitfalls of each. Keywords Telecommunication Network Management, Virtual Reality, Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), User Interface.
