Six Degree of Freedom Control with a Two-Dimensional Input Device: Intuitive Controls and Simple Implementations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of techniques have been proposed to manipulate objects in three dimensions using only a two-dimensional input device, such as a standard mouse. Some of these methods lacked full six degree of freedom (DOF) control, instead manipulating only the two DOF orientation of the object. Others provide six DOF control at the cost of complex user operations and complex implementations. We extend one popular manipulation paradigm, the ARCBALL controller, to a full six DOF controller. We provide two implementations of six DOF control, with the new implementations of operations made simple by taking advantage of graphics library operations.

The Quest for Intuitive 3D-Input Devices
This paper presents our approach for exploring the design space of input devices for three-dimensional graphics applications. We use an extended input device taxonomy as an inspiring source for generating permutations of sensors to suggest sensor configurations for new input devices. The taxonomy uses the integrated and separated degrees of freedom of an input device as a major classification c...

This study is concentrated on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a simple three-member space frame coupled with a dynamic vibration absorber. The dynamic vibration absorber is modeled as a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system. For the first time, the free vibration of an elastic structure with a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system is found. Each member of the space frame has un...
