Abstract :
We merge the Pictorial Computing Laboratory (PCL) approach to WIMP interaction with the Interaction Locus approach to structuring visual spaces as a step toward the definition of a rational methodology for the design of Virtual Reality interactive systems. The merging of the two points of view allows the refinement of the model of interaction of a user with a virtual environment and leads to the definition of "real" and "virtual" characteristic pattern.
