The Interactive Spatial Surface - Blended Interaction on a Stereoscopic Multi-Touch Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current touch technology provides precise and accurate large multi-touch surfaces, which allow multiple users to collaborate in these two-dimensional setups. Furthermore, recent developments in the field of display technology support visualization of three-dimensional (3D) virtual environments (VEs) in high-fidelity visual detail on these surfaces. Finally, cost-efficient depth cameras such as the Microsoft Kinect support affordable hand tracking, which enables interaction above the surface. In this paper we introduce the interactive SPAtial SurfaCE (iSPACE), a system combining classical multitouch-based interaction with direct mid-air selection and manipulation of stereoscopically projected virtual objects. By utilizing a large state-of-the-art Ultra HD 3D display and a high-performance touch frame, the system offers high-quality collaborative exploration.

Touch-sensitive screens enable natural interaction without any instrumentation and support tangible feedback on the touch surface. In particular multi-touch interaction has proven its usability for 2D tasks, but the challenges to exploit these technologies in virtual reality (VR) setups have rarely been studied. In this paper we address the challenge to allow users to interact with stereoscopic...

In this paper we present an environment for conceptual design which mimics the interaction of designers with physical mockups. We present novel three dimensional on-and-above-the-surface interactive techniques which combine asymmetric bimanual operations with multi-touch direct manipulation on a flat surface and depth cameras. These take advantage of a continuous interaction space to create and...

This paper presents novel interaction modes for Model-Based Sonification (MBS) via interactive surfaces. We first discuss possible interactions for MBS on a multi-touch surface. This is followed by a description of the Data Sonogram Sonification and the Growing Neural Gas Sonification Model and their implementation for the multi-touch interface. Modifications from the original sonification mode...
