MTVis: tree exploration using a multitouch interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present MTVis, a multi-touch interactive tree visualization system. The multi-touch interface display hardware is built using the LED-LP technology, and the tree layout is based on RINGS, but enhanced with multitouch interactions. We describe the features of the system, and how the multi-touch interface enhances the user’s experience in exploring the tree data structure. In particular, the multi-touch interface allows the user to simultaneously control two child nodes of the root, and rotate them so that some nodes are magnified, while preserving the layout of the tree. We also describe the other meaninful touch screen gestures the users can use to intuitively explore the tree.

متن کاملDetermining the benefits of direct-touch, bimanual, and multifinger input on a multitouch workstation
Multitouch workstations support direct-touch, bimanual, and multifinger interaction. Previous studies have separately examined the benefits of these three interaction attributes over mouse-based interactions. In contrast, we present an empirical user study that considers these three interaction attributes together for a single task, such that we can quantify and compare the performances of each...
متن کاملTangible Meets Gestural: Gesture Based Interaction with Active Tokens
Emerging multi-touch and tangible interaction techniques have a potential for enhancing learning and discovery but have limitations when manipulating large data sets. Our goal is to define novel interaction techniques for multitouch and tangible interfaces, which support the exploration of and learning from large data sets. In this paper we discuss conceptual, cognitive, and technical dimension...
