Tabletop 3D Object Manipulation with Touch and Tangibles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tabletop environments are ideal for collaborative activities that involve moving and arranging objects. However, manipulating 3D virtual objects through the 2D interface is challenging because users’ 2D actions must be translated into 3D actions. We explore the use of touch and tangibles to aid collaboration and 3D object manipulation. Our user study shows that using touch and tangible interaction together has advantages 3D object manipulation. While most users preferred touch due to its familiarity, the tangibles were favored for some tasks.

Improved Tabletop-Interaction using nestable circular Tangibles
Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI’13, April 27 – May 2, 2013, Paris, France. ACM 978-1-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/XX. Abstract The multitouch functionality of tabletop computers is often augmented by the use of tangible objects that offer an intuitive and haptic alternative to interaction and manipulation. However, employing tangibles can also lead to less desirable effects, such as occlusion o...
متن کاملLTouchIt: LEGO Modeling on Multi-Touch Surfaces
Presently, multi-touch interactive surfaces have widespread adoption. Taking advantage of such devices, we present an interactive LEGO application, developed accordingly to an adaptation of building block metaphors and direct multi-touch manipulation. Although touch-based interaction has evolved in the past years, manipulation of 3D objects can not be used without know-how of CAD and 3D modelin...

Vispol (Visualization for the police) is an interactive graph-based visualization that supports the work of the police of Hessen, Germany. A Vispol graph visualizes involved persons and their relations in crisis incidents like hostage takings or bank hold-ups. It presents a tabletop-based multi-touch and tangible user interface for the structured creation and manipulation of node-link diagrams....
متن کاملUnderstanding Hand Degrees of Freedom and Natural Gestures for 3D Interaction on Tabletop
Interactively creating and editing 3D content requires the manipulation of many degrees of freedom (DoF). For instance, docking a virtual object involves 6 DoF (position and orientation). Multi-touch surfaces are good candidates as input devices for those interactions: they provide a direct manipulation where each finger contact on the table controls 2 DoF. This leads to a theoretical upper bou...
متن کاملRelative and absolute mappings for rotating remote 3D objects on multi-touch tabletops
The use of human fingers as an object selection and manipulation tool has raised significant challenges when interacting with direct-touch tabletop displays. This is particularly an issue when manipulating remote objects in 3D environments as finger presses can obscure objects at a distance that are rendered very small. Techniques to support remote manipulation either provide absolute mappings ...
