Visualization of Three-Dimensional Form: A discussion of theoretical models

Current research in perception, cognition, and human-computer interaction is explored as a source of theories explaining the process by which threedimensional forms are visualized. A number of theoretical models are summarized and compared in an attempt to uncover variables important to future research conducted by the EDG profession. The appropriateness of dynamic versus static imaging techniques to develop a student's visualization abilities becomes a vehicle for applying some of these theoretical models and proposing specific display techniques.
