Abstract
Large volumes of complicated data require advanced visual query systems. These advanced systems challenge the conventional user interface metaphors and require new solutions. This paper outlines the development of one such system, called AMAZE. The development of this database interface has gone through a number of stages. Limitations of the associated structured query language and textual output lead firstly to a WIMP ‘form-based’ graphical interface being developed. When the ‘form-based’ interface was found to be insufficient a 3D graphical interface was designed and built. New visual metaphors have been developed to aid the user. Three dimensional graphics are used for both query construction and result representation and the user can then view the results using a variety of displays.
