Abstract
User interfaces that allow the direct manipulation of conceptual objects with adequate semantic feedback are not sufficiently supported by the user interface tools of today. We have designed a layered architecture for user interface objects based upon the definition of a three dimensional object space for object manipulation. In this space the usual user centered events are replaced by a logical manipulation “feel” which is symmetrically applied from one object to another. We also consider the consequences of having multiple views of one object in such an object space. An example class definition in C++ gives an example of how to work with our objects.
