Kinesthetic Metaphors for Precise Spatial Manipulation: A Study of Object Rotation

Abstract

In this paper, we report on our investigation of kinesthetic feedback as a means to provide precision, accuracy, and mitigation of arm fatigue in spatial manipulation tasks. Most works on spatial manipulation discuss the use of haptics (kinesthetic/force and tactile) primarily as a means to offer physical realism in spatial user interfaces (SUIs). Our work offers a new perspective in terms of how force feedback can promote precise manipulations in spatial interactions to aide manual labor, controllability, and precision. To demonstrate this, we develop, implement, and evaluate three new haptics-enabled interaction techniques (kinesthetic metaphors) for precise rotation of 3D objects. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of experiments reveal that the addition of force-feedback improves precision for each of the rotation techniques. Self-reported user feedback further exposes a novel aspect of kinesthetic manipulation in its ability to mitigate arm fatigue for close-range spatial manipulation tasks.

Application of Sensor-Based Intelligent Wearable Devices in Information Physical Education

“…According to the statistics in Table 1, the attitude of using sensors in the badminton learning process of the experimental group was evaluated after the experiment, and the students in the experimental group all took the initiative to use the sensors. e use of intelligent sensing equipment to assist teaching is more conducive to stimulate students' interest in learning 4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering badminton and mobilize their learning enthusiasm [16] as shown in Figure 4.…”

“…In the context of the rapid development of information technology, combined with previous studies on wearable technology, this article carries out a teaching experiment design for the daily teaching of badminton elective courses in colleges and universities. It tries to find new methods and means of wearable device-assisted teaching, stimulate students' enthusiasm for participation, improve the controllability and accuracy of college badminton elective teaching, and achieve the goal of steadily improving the teaching effect of college badminton elective teaching [4].…”
