An example method is provided in according with one implementation of the present disclosure. The method includes identifying an intention of a user of a system in relation to a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object and selecting a 3D navigation mode from a plurality of 3D navigation modes based on the identified user intention. The plurality of 3D navigation modes includes at least a model navigation mode, a simple navigation mode, a driving navigation mode, a reaching navigation mode, and a multi-touch navigation mode. The method further includes transitioning the system to the selected 3D navigation mode.

3D navigation mode

An example system is provided in according with one implementation of the present disclosure. The system includes a 3D display displaying at least one three-dimensional (3D) visualization, an auxiliary computing device including a multi-touch display and a plurality of sensors, and a behavior analysis engine to perform a behavior analysis of a user by using data from the plurality of sensors. The behavior analysis engine is to: determine an attention engagement level of the user, and determine a pose of the user in relation to the auxiliary computing device. The system further includes an intention analysis engine to determine an intention of the user in relation to the at least one 3D visualization based on the user's attention engagement level and the user's pose, and an interaction mode engine to automatically adjust the system to an interaction mode based on the identified user intention.
