INSPECT: extending plane-casting for 6-DOF control

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.

“…Several researchers have proposed to use handheld touchscreens in spatial user interfaces for tasks such as sketching, ideation and modeling (e.g., [3,23,25,33,48,91]), navigation of volumetric data [106], 3D data exploration [65] and system control [10]. Spatial manipulation has mostly been studied in single-user settings (e.g., [5,51,63,68,74,111,112]) but also in collaborative settings [35].…”

Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to transform knowledge work. One advantage of VR knowledge work is that it allows extending 2D displays into the third dimension, enabling new operations, such as selecting overlapping objects or displaying additional layers of information. On the other hand, mobile knowledge workers often work on established mobile devices, such as tablets, limiting interaction with those devices to a small input space. This challenge of a constrained input space is intensified in situations when VR knowledge work is situated in cramped environments, such as airplanes and touchdown spaces. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of interacting jointly between an immersive VR head-mounted display and a tablet within the context of knowledge work. Specifically, we 1) design, implement and study how to interact with information that reaches beyond a single physical touchscreen in VR; 2) design and evaluate a set of interaction concepts; and 3) build example applications and gather user feedback on those applications.

“…With the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), phone-orientation (3DoF) has been used to point at distant screens [11,15,44,50] and in VR [16,32] via ray-casting. The IMU has furthermore been used for the selection and manipulation of objects in 3D environments via 2D rotational planes [19,29,45,53,57], for enabling throw-or swing gestures to transfer media between devices [14,42], and for uni-stroke letter [1] or symbol [30,63] recognition in combination with acceleration data.…”

“…Many studies have shown that using the phone's movements, combined with touch, can outperform the use of many other options (i.e. touch-only devices, mouse, Wii remotes, 6DoF wand) in 3D object translation/rotation tasks [28,29,44,56]. However, this requires users to calibrate their smartphone's IMU to determine its correct orientation [15,16,50] each time they intend to use it.…”

We propose, implement and evaluate the use of a smartphone application for real-time six-degrees-of-freedom user input. We show that our app-based approach achieves high accuracy and goes headto-head with expensive externally tracked controllers. The strength of our application is that it is simple to implement and is highly accessible -requiring only an off-the-shelf smartphone, without any external trackers, markers, or wearables. Due to its inside-out tracking and its automatic remapping algorithm, users can comfortably perform subtle 3D inputs everywhere (world-scale), without any spatial or postural limitations. For example, they can interact while standing, sitting or while having their hands down by their sides. Finally, we also show its use in a wide range of applications for 2D and 3D object manipulation, thereby demonstrating its suitability for diverse real-world scenarios.
