A Multi-Touch enabled Human-Transporter Metaphor for Virtual 3D Traveling
Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI), page 79--82 - 2010
In this tech-note we demonstrate how multi-touch hand gestures in
combination with foot gestures can be used to perform navigation
tasks in interactive 3D environments. Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) are well suited as a complex testbed for evaluation of
user interfaces based on multi-modal input. Recent developments
in the area of interactive surfaces enable the construction of lowcost
multi-touch displays and relatively inexpensive sensor technology
to detect foot gestures, which allows to explore these input
modalities for virtual reality environments. In this tech-note, we
describe an intuitive 3D user interface metaphor and corresponding
hardware, which combine multi-touch hand and foot gestures for
interaction with spatial data.
