Multi-resolution Amplification Widgets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a 3D graphical interaction tool called an amplification widget that allows a user to control the position or orientation of an object at multiple scales. Fine and coarse adjustments are available within a single tool which gives visual feedback to indicate the level of resolution being applied. Amplification widgets have been included in instructional modules of The Optics Project, designed to supplement undergraduate physics courses. The user evaluation is being developed by the Institute of the Mid-South Educational Research Association under the sponsorship of a 2-year grant from the National Science Foundation. Nous décrivons un outil graphique de l'interaction 3D q'on appele un " widget d'amplification " qui permet à un utilisateur de contrôler la position ou l'orientation d'un objet aux échelles divers. Les réglages fins et approchés sont disponibles dans un outil simple qui donne le feedback visuel pour indiquer le niveau de la résolution étant appliquée. Des widgets d'amplification ont été inclus dans des modules d'instruction de The Optics Project, conçus pour compléter des cours de physique. L'évaluation d'utilisateur est développée par l'Institute of the Mid-South Educational Research Association sous le patronage du National Science Foundation .

SLAP: Silicone Illuminated Active Peripherals
We present SLAP, a system of tangible, translucent widgets for use on FTIR-based multi-touch tabletops. Our initial widgets include a SLAP keyboard, button, slider, knob, and lens. SLAP widgets add tactile feedback to multi-touch tables, improving input accuracy. They can be relabeled dynamically via table rear projection, and provide inexpensive, battery-free, and untethered augmentations for ...
متن کاملActuated Translucent Controls for Dynamic Tangible Applications on Interactive Tabletops
We present a novel type of tangible controls for interactive tabletops: actuated general-purpose widgets that are used to manipulate digital data on interactive tabletops. Due to their transparency the visual appearances can be changed dynamically. Unlike previous approaches, our widgets can be arranged and configured on the tabletop by employing an array of electromagnets beneath the multi-tou...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Animated 3d User Interfaces
With the proliferation of virtual environments in real-world applications effective interface design and usability testing for virtual environments becomes increasingly important. Since 3D interfaces are not based on a set of standardized widgets the tasks of user orientation, interface presentation and interaction feedback require special attention during the design of 3D environments. Animati...
متن کاملCaring, Sharing Widgets: A Toolkit of Sensitive Widgets
Although most of us communicate using multiple sensory modalities in our lives, and many of our computers are similarly capable of multi-modal interaction, most human-computer interaction is predominantly in the visual mode. This paper describes a toolkit of widgets that are capable of presenting themselves in multiple modalities, but further are capable of adapting their presentation to suit t...
متن کاملComparison of 2D and 3D GUI Widgets for Stereoscopic Multitouch Setups
Recent developments in the area of interactive entertainment have suggested to combine stereoscopic visualization with multi-touch displays, which has the potential to open up new vistas for natural interaction with interactive three-dimensional (3D) applications. However, the question arises how the user interfaces for system control in such 3D setups should be designed in order to provide an ...
