Interaction with 3D environments using multi-touch screens

Abstract

The increase in availability of multi-touch devices has motivated us to consider interaction approaches outside the limitations associated with the use of a mouse. The problem that we try to solve is how to interact in a 3D world using a 2D surface multi-touch display. Before showing our proposed solution, we briefly review previous work in related fields that provided a framework for the development of our approach. Finally, we propose a set of multi-touch gestures and outline an experiment design for the evaluation of these forms of interaction. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
