چکیده

This paper describes how a physical simulation can be integrated with our Responsive Workbench system to support complex assembly tasks involving multiple hands and users. Our system uses the CORIOLIS physical simulation package extended to meet the real time requirements for our highly interactive virtual environment. We develop a new set of interface tools that exploit the natural properties of physical simulation (i.e. the superposition of forces). Our tools are based on sets of springs connecting the user’s hand to a virtual object. Visualizing these springs provides “visual force feedback” of the applied forces and facilitates the prediction of the objects’ behavior. Our force-based interaction concept allows multiple hands and users to manipulate a single object without the need for locking the object.

Spring-Based Manipulation Tools for Virtual Environments

In this paper we present new tools for user interaction with virtual worlds, to bring more natural behavior into the manipulation of objects in virtual environments. We present some principles of physically realistic behavior of virtual objects and a set of user input techniques suitable for semi-immersive VR devices such as the Responsive Workbench. We introduce springs, spring-forks and sprin...

Dynamics in Interaction on the Responsive Workbench

In this paper we present a different view of user interaction with virtual worlds. We start from the question: how can we bring more natural object behavior into virtual environments? Currently, objects in VR applications often behave in a very un-natural way. Incorporation of physical laws in the virtual environment, together with monitoring natural user actions and behavior is desirable. We p...

A Study of Distance of Manipulation on the Responsive WorkbenchTM

Virtual environments such as the Responsive WorkbenchTM1 allow the close manipulation of virtual objects. We define close manipulation as either direct manipulation or manipulation at a relatively small distance. This paper reports on two studies on close manipulation using the Responsive Workbench. The first study investigates the influence of manipulation distance on performance in a 3D locat...

Tracing the Line of Thought on the Responsive Workbench

Traditional 3d modeling software utilizes a complex interface that restricts free conceptual thinking. We have developed an alternative approach that is based on making marks with the body in space. This simplified interface reduces cognitive overhead, enhancing the conceptual development of geometric shapes. This system uses the Responsive Workbench to display geometry in the space of the user...
