3D Point cloud manipulation on our stereoscopic touch table (iSPACE)
Summary
The T3D project is funded by the German Research Foundation and its goal is the better understanding and thus better prediction of the influence of perceptual aspects on human perception and action in multi-touch-enabled stereoscopic display environments. Therefore, we conduct a series of experiments in which we analyze the user’s behavior during all phases of touch-based interaction in stereoscopic environments. The results allow us to gain new insights into human action and perception in such environments and help to design and improve perceptually-inspired interaction concepts.
Another goal is the design and evaluation of Perceptually-Inspired Interaction Techniques based on the perceptual experiments results. Those interaction techniques, which are suited for adaptive 3D user interfaces, take all phases of a touch into account in order to improve both the usability and user experience by developing and evaluating such adaptive user interfaces which make use of not only the touch, but also the pre-touch phase and thus constituting a novel interaction paradigm for stereoscopic touch interfaces.
We want to bring our results to an approved productive use in the field of HCI by conceiving novel 3DS-GUI widgets, i.e. stereoscopic 3D graphical user interface elements, which encapsulate the interaction concepts for easy deployment in novel stereoscopic user interfaces.
