Techniques for selection and manipulation

Valve controllers

  • Surface: (2D)dragging and rotating and (3D) pinching, void shadows, balloon selection, corkscrew widget, triangle cursor

  • Indirect: Indirect Control-Space: indirect touch, virtual interaction surface, levels-of-precision cursor, virtual pad and Indirect Proxy Techniques: world in miniature, Voodoo Dolls and Indirect Widget Technique: 3D widgets, virtual sphere, arcball.

  • Bimanual

  • Hybrid

Selection: specifying one of more objects from a set.

Goals of selection: indicate action on object, Query object, Make object active, Travel to object location, Set up manipulation

Selection performance: variables affecting user performance, Object distance from user, Object (visual) size, Density of objects in area, Occluders

Manipulation: modifying object properties (position, orientation, scale, shape, color, texture, behaviour etc)
