Interactions within virtual environments often require manipulating 3D virtual objects. To this
end, researchers have endeavoured to find efficient solutions using either traditional input …

3D selection in dense VR environments (eg, point clouds) is extremely challenging due to
occlusion and imprecise mid-air input modalities (eg, 3D controllers and hand gestures). In …

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 …

This book addresses the new interaction modalities that are becoming possible with new
devices by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective. It deals with modern input …

The chapter surveys the different approaches investigated to interact with scientific
visualizations on large surfaces such as tables and walls. The chapter particularly does not …

Context: For multi-touch Information Systems (ISs) to reach the desired level of quality, it is
necessary to have an evaluation of it. Two important quality aspects are usability and User …

Research on 3D interaction has explored the application of multi-touch technologies to 3D
stereoscopic displays. However, the ability to perceive 3D objects at different depths (in front …

In this paper we studied the impact that the directedness of touch interaction has on a path
following task performed on a stereoscopic display. The richness of direct touch interaction …

We present a comprehensive multitouch input mapping for 3D navigation of multiscale 3D
models. In contrast to prior work, our technique offers explicit control over 3D rotation, 3D …

A significant increase in multi-touch interactions is notable with the expanded use of
smartphones, tablets, and tabletops. Multi-touch systems are software that uses the user's …
