ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a novel interaction paradigm for multi-touch interfaces, that integrates both touch and near-touch interactions. The paper describes the hardware prototype that we have built, as well as the computer vision approach that we propose for real-time hand tracking and differentiation between near-touch and touch events. We also present a case study showing how near-touch and touch interactions can be successfully integrated in an information visualization application.

Recommendations
Extending touch: towards interaction with large-scale surfaces
ITS '09: Proceedings of the ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and SurfacesTouch is a very intuitive modality for interacting with objects displayed on arbitrary surfaces. However, when using touch for large-scale surfaces, not every point is reachable. Therefore, an extension is required that keeps the intuitivity provided by ...
To touch or not to touch?: comparing 2D touch and 3D mid-air interaction on stereoscopic tabletop surfaces
SUI '13: Proceedings of the 1st symposium on Spatial user interactionRecent developments in touch and display technologies have laid the groundwork to combine touch-sensitive display systems with stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display. Although this combination provides a compelling user experience, interaction with ...
Applying Pen Pressure, Tilt and Touch Interactions to Data Visualizations
ISS '20: Companion Proceedings of the 2020 Conference on Interactive Surfaces and SpacesBimanual interactions using pen and touch are natural to humans and have proven and explored in previous research. However, most of the previous work has been limited to using cartesian coordinates of fingers and pen tip. In this work, we go further by ...
