“…Such a setup has two major constraints: it (a) primarily requires rotations (as opposed to translations) and it (b) requires scaling across multiple orders of magnitude. For this purpose, Fu et al [29] provide a set of interaction techniques that combine spherical navigation based on a trackball metaphor as well as their unique "powers-of-ten-ladder" for multi-scale navigation (Fig. 8).…”

6 . The text of this author version is virtually identical to the published one, albeit uses better typography and more hyperlinks (e. g., from the figures to online videos of the described interaction technique(s)). Notice also that many of the images contained in the publisher's online version are of lower quality than those contained in this author-prepared version.Abstract The chapter surveys the different approaches investigated to interact with scientific visualizations on large surfaces such as tables and walls. The chapter particularly does not focus on VR-based interaction or tangible input but on those interaction techniques where the input is provided on the surface itself or where it is focused on the surface. In particular, tactile interaction techniques are covered and the challenges of gestural input as well as of combining touch input with stereoscopic rendering are discussed. Where possible, connections to collaborative interaction scenarios are pointed out, even though most publications to date focus on single-user interaction.

“…As a result, the user receives feedback indicating that the object is selected. Indication of the target object can be performed by occluding the object, touching the object in the image Ten Ladders and another finger from the second hand slides along the ladder to exponentially increase the camera distance from the center of the 3D environment [19]. This technique also rotates the camera around the y axis by left/right slides of the hand; around the x axis using up/down slides; and around the z axis with clockwise and counterclockwise motion.…”

Three-dimensional capabilities on mobile devices are increasing, and interactivity is becoming a key feature of these tools. It is expected that users will actively engage with the 3D content, instead of being passive consumers. Because touchscreens provide a direct means of interaction with 3D content by directly touching and manipulating 3D graphical elements, touch-based interaction is a natural and appealing style of input for 3D applications. However, developing 3D interaction techniques for handheld devices using touch-screens is not a straightforward task. One issue is that when interacting with 3D objects, users occlude the object with their fingers. Furthermore, because the user's finger covers a large area of the screen, the smallest size of the object users can touch is limited. In this thesis, we first inspect existing 3D interaction techniques based on their performance with handheld devices. Then, we present a set of precise Dual-Finger 3D Interaction Techniques for a small display. Then, we present the results of an experimental study, where we evaluate the usability, performance, and error rate of the proposed and existing 3D interaction techniques. Finally, we integrate the proposed methods of different user modes.Keywords: mobile 3D environments, touch-screens, multi-touch input, dual-finger techniques, modular interaction.

“…Direct manipulation interactions have also been evaluated more favorably than abstract gestures in evaluations of specific interfaces. For instance, when evaluating the implementation of multi-touch interactions for navigating a large 3D environment, Fu et al found that participants had the most difficulty using an abstract, two-handed gesture to change spatial scale, while the direct manipulation interactions-one-finger rotation and fivefinger panning-users considered intuitive and easy to perform [8].…”

Intuition is an important yet ill-defined factor when designing effective multi-touch interactions. Throughout the research community, there is a lack of consensus regarding both the nature of intuition and, more importantly, how to systematically incorporate it into the design of multi-touch gestural interactions. To strengthen our understanding of intuition, we surveyed various domains to determine the level of consensus among researchers, commercial developers, and the general public regarding which multi-touch gestures are intuitive, and which of these gestures intuitively lead to which interaction outcomes. We reviewed more than one hundred papers regarding multi-touch interaction, approximately thirty of which contained key findings we report herein. Based on these findings, we have constructed a framework of five factors that determine the intuition of multi-touch interactions, including direct manipulation, physics, feedback, previous knowledge, and physical motion. We further provide both design recommendations for multi-touch developers and an evaluation of research problems which remain due to the limitations of present research regarding these factors. We expect our survey and discussion of intuition will raise awareness of its importance, and lead to the active pursuit of intuitive multi-touch interaction design.
