چکیده
Touch-sensitive devices become more and more common all-around. Many people use touch interaction, especially on small devices like iPhone or other mobile phones and handhelds. But do they really understand the different gestures, know which gesture is the correct one for the intended action and do they know how to transfer the gestures to bigger devices and surfaces? This paper reports about usability tests which are carried out in semi public space to explore peoples’ ability to find gestures to navigate on a virtual globe. The globe is presented on a multi-touch-table. Furthermore, it is studied which additional gestures people use intuitively to those ones which are implemented.

This paper presents the BioWIM, a multi-surface, multi-touch interface for exploring visualizations of complex biomedical environments using a semi-immersive virtual reality (VR) display. The BioWIM reinterprets the traditional world-inminiature (WIM) VRmetaphor within the context of navigating visualizations based on medical imaging data and using the unique capabilities provided by coupling a...
متن کاملComparing Multi-Touch Interaction Techniques for
The adjustment of multidimensional abstract parameter spaces, used in human-in-the-loop systems such as simulations and visualizations, plays an important role for multitouch interaction. We investigate new natural forms of interaction to manipulate such parameter spaces. We develop separable multi-touch interaction techniques for abstract parameter space manipulation. We investigate using the ...
متن کاملLet’s All Go to the Lunch Table: Performance in Interactive Semi-Public Spaces
In this paper, we discuss our ongoing work on a digitally augmented lunch area in our research lab. As we repeatedly observed how digital resources have the potential to enrich conversations in this semi-public, casual setting, we became interested in exploring the relationship between physical and digital artefacts in the context of social interaction. We turn to performance as a promising res...
متن کاملExploring multi-touch gestures for map interaction in mass casualty incidents
In mass casualty incidents a common operation picture, which gives an overview about the current situation is critical information for managing the emergency. In order to support the collaboration between different incident commanders a multi-touch table, placed in the incident command post, is used to present the current operation picture on a map. To place as little additional mental load as ...
