IntFi Model – Free Posters

Modern educational posters: Get premium prints for free, incl. global shipping

The Interaction Fidelity Model (IntFi Model) helps distinguish and communicate the different aspects of fidelity or realism of any VR interaction. The taxonomy provides clear terms and definitions in a simple structure, guiding you through the analysis of how closely your system or experience resembles the interaction to be simulated. Learn more about the model in my Portfolio.

While developing the IntFi Model, our team of co-authors at the University of Bremen had different visualizations of the IntFi Loop hanging on the walls. This not only supported the refinement of the model but also helped our understanding of interactions in many other projects. We repeatedly walked up to the posters to illustrate an argument in discussions and used them in teaching. Maybe it’s also helpful to you and your team.

Order posters for your team by Dec 10

This motivated us to design sleek and informative posters that we provide as supplemental material with the open-access journal publication. To facilitate discussions about interaction fidelity in XR teams worldwide, we also offer free prints of the posters to hang in your department’s meeting room, your lab kitchen, the hallways, or your home office for quick reference. We hope they are as helpful for your work as they are for ours.
