Abstract :
This article summarizes a user study of viewing 3D geometry on large-screen display devices. The geometry models the structure of a complex physical object. Our results show that the crispness of a display device (intraframe performance) must be considered along with the speed at which new frames can be computed (interframe performance). It´s important to consider crispness from the user´s perspective, using values that aren´t often published in device specifications. Equally important is the framework for different types of 3D data and the categorization of display technology and techniques
