Abstract

Tabletop environments are ideal for collaborative activities that involve moving and arranging objects. However, manipulating 3D virtual objects through the 2D interface is challenging because users’ 2D actions must be translated into 3D actions. We explore the use of touch and tangibles to aid collaboration and 3D object manipulation. Our user study shows that using touch and tangible interaction together has advantages 3D object manipulation. While most users preferred touch due to its familiarity, the tangibles were favored for some tasks.

This wasn’t picked up by the data logger as much as it should have because the stack tangible was not always detected.
