“…The work proposed by Telkernaroglu et al [Telkenaroglu and Capin 2012] solves this problem by proposing selection and manipulation techniques using one or two fingers to perform transformations on the object so that the object of interest is not occluded. This work also proposes a form of navigation using the gesture known as pinch.…”

Three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD) modeling and reviewing is one of the most common engineering project tools. Interaction in these environments is characterized by the need for a high precision level to execute specific tasks. Generally this kind of task uses specific interaction devices with 4 or more degrees of freedom, such as 3D mice. Currently applications involving 3D interaction use interaction devices for object modeling or for the implementation of navigation, selection and manipulation techniques in a virtual environment. A related problem is the need to control naturally non-immersive tasks, such as symbolic input (e.g., text, photos). In addition, the steep learning curve to handle such nonconventional devices is a recurring problem. The addition of sensors and the popularization of smart-phones and tablets, allowed the use of such devices in virtual engineering environments. These devices, differs to other devices by the possibility of including additional information and performing naturally non-immersive tasks.This work presents a 3D interaction tablet-based tool, which allows the aggregation of all major 3D interaction topics, such as navigation, selection, manipulation, system control and symbolic input. To validate the proposed tool,the SimUEP-Ambsim application was chosen, an oil and gas simulator that has the complexity needed and which allows the use of all techniques implemented. Then, the tool was tested in another application, a photo-voltaic solar plant simulator, in order to evaluate the generality of this work concept.

“…A one to one C/D gain for ASP and WSP is thus used. Now regarding OSP, adopting a constant C/D gain is conform to the initial implementation of the technique [39]: to fit with the 3D environment used in our user study, the adopted C/D gain resulted from a preliminary study allowing the users to adjust the C/D gain to allow a comfortable use of the technique.…”

“…The use of smartphone to interact with 3D content on distant display has already been considered for example to manipulate a slice plane [38], to navigate, select or manipulate a 3D object [5,21,23]. Combinations of finger movements [39], device orientations [23] and gesture around the device [21] represent many alternatives for implementing smartphone-based techniques for 3D interaction.…”

In this paper, we present the "Around the SmartPhone" interaction technique for manipulating 3D elements displayed on a distant screen. The design of the technique is based on the selection of the most appropriate value for characteristics useful to discriminate existing tactile and tangible techniques for 3D manipulations. We perform two user studies to compare this around-device technique for translating and rotating 3D objects, with two existing tangible and tactile solutions, in terms of performance and user's preference. The literature establishes that the tactile technique evaluated is the best tactile technique among the existing tactile techniques for 3D manipulation. Despite this result, our user study reveals that the two others perform significantly better. In addition, when feedback visibility is preserved, the around-device technique offers similar performance results than the tangible one. Finally, the around-device technique is significantly preferred over the two others in every condition.

“…Another hybrid technique was developed, this allow a copy of selected area to be shown and accurate cursor positioning been allowed [10] [7]. Dual fingers technique is also a technique on touch based interaction, this touch technique is also call tactile technique and this is referred to on the Smartphone techniques [11]Telkenaroglu, C. and Cap in. These limitations make pointing tasks [12] or interaction with traditional widgets difficult.…”
