A Comparison of Ray Pointing Techniques for Very Large Displays
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Ray-pointing techniques are often advocated as a way for people to interact with very large displays from several meters away. We are interested in two factors that can affect ray pointing: the particular technique's control type, and parallax. Consequently, we tested four ray pointing variants on a wall display that covers a large part of the user's field of view. Tasks included horizontal and vertical targeting, and tracing. Our results show that (a) techniques based on 'rotational control' perform better for targeting tasks, and (b) techniques with low parallax are best for tracing tasks. We also show that a Fitts's law analysis based on angles (as opposed to linear distances) better approximates people's ray pointing performance.

A comparison of ray pointing techniques for very large displays
Ray pointing techniques such as laser pointing have long been proposed as a natural way to interact with large and distant displays. However we still do not understand the differences between ray pointing alternatives and how they are affected by the large size of modern displays. We present a study where four different variants of ray pointing are tested for horizontal targeting, vertical targ...
متن کاملPrecision Pointing for Ultra-High-Resolution Wall Displays
Ultra-high-resolution wall displays have proven useful for displaying large quantities of information, but lack appropriate interaction techniques to manipulate the data efficiently. We explore the limits of existing modeless remote pointing techniques, originally designed for lower resolution displays, and show that they do not support high-precision pointing on such walls. We then consider te...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Effect of User Position on Ray-Pointing Techniques for Large Scale Displays
Large-scale displays support interaction scenarios where the user is physically unrestrained. However, standard input devices – such as keyboards and mice – are cumbersome and might restrain user mobility in large scale displays. Pointing has been suggested as an interaction technique adequate for such scenarios. However, little is known regarding what human factors affect pointing performance....
متن کاملIncreasing the Precision of Distant Pointing for Large High-Resolution Displays
Distant pointing at large displays allows rapid cursor movements, but can be problematic when high levels of precision are needed, due to natural hand tremor and tracking jitter. We present two ray-casting-based interaction techniques for large high-resolution displays – Absolute and Relative Mapping (ARM) Ray-casting and Zoom for Enhanced Large Display Acuity (ZELDA) – that address this precis...
متن کاملComparison of Phone-Based Distal Pointing Techniques for Point-Select Tasks
Many different mobile phone-based distal pointing techniques have been proposed and evaluated. Interaction with distant large-screen displays, including interactive TV, requires active pointing and selection of target items. In this paper, we empirically compare four different phone-based distal pointing techniques for point-select tasks. Results show that participants prefer a discrete pointin...
