The representation of 2D data in 3D information spaces is becoming increasingly popular. Many different layout and interaction metaphors are in use, but it is unclear how these perform in comparison to each other and across different input devices. In this paper we present the ElasticSteer technique for navigation in 3D information spaces using relative gestures for mouse and multi-touch input. It realises steering control with visual feedback on direction and speed via a rubber band metaphor. ElasticSteer includes unconstrained and constrained navigation specifically designed for the wall, carousel or corridor visualisation metaphors. A study shows that ElasticSteer can be used successfully by novice users and performs comparably for mouse and multi-touch input.
