Abstract :
We propose a design metaphor we call superhumans in order to empower 3D Interaction Designers to create and implement interactive mixed and virtual reality environments, and to help users familiarize themselves with interactive system´s capabilities, behaviour and limitations. We describe how our superhumans metaphor can help 3DUI designers explore various sources of inspirations such as narration (storytelling) and transitional environments, when designing their systems.
