We present DesignAR, an augmented design workstation for creating 3D models. Our
approach seamlessly integrates an interactive surface displaying 2D views with head …

Augmented Reality (AR) applications may require the precise alignment of virtual objects to
the real world. We propose automatic alignment of virtual objects to physical constraints …

Over the last several years there has been an explosion of powerful, affordable, multi-touch
devices. This provides an outstanding opportunity for novel data visualization techniques …

Spreadsheet programs for interactive surfaces have limited manipulations capabilities and
are often frustrating to use. One key reason is that the spreadsheet grid creates a layer that …

Each software context has its specificities. One specfic type of context is the multi-touch,
where two or more touches are recognized by the software at the same time. Still in this …

Aligning and distributing graphical objects is a common, but cumbersome task. In a
preliminary study (six graphic designers, six non-designers), we identified three key …

Combined pen and touch input is an interaction paradigm attracting increasing interest both
in the research community and recently in industry. In this paper, we illustrate how pen and …

Traditional graphic design tools emphasize the grid for structuring layout. Interviews with
professional graphic designers revealed that they use surprisingly sophisticated structures …

A mobile terminal capable of sensing a touch input, and a control method thereof are
provided. The mobile terminal includes: a camera unit configured to receive an image in a …

Combining mid-air gestures with pen input for bi-manual input on tablets has been reported
as an alternative and attractive input technique in drawing applications. Previous work has …
