  • MOVE AND TURN TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE FOR MANIPULATING OBJECTS IN A 3D SCENE
    Publication number: 20120066648
    Abstract: Methods and a system for manipulating objects in a 3D virtual scene are disclosed. Two different mechanisms are used for a user interface, including a first hand and a second hand of a user. The first hand manipulates translational manipulation of the virtual object, such as displacement of the object in three orthogonal planes. The second hand manipulates rotational manipulation of the object. While the interface uses and recognizes different hands for manipulation of the object, it also uses three digits or fingers of different hands to control height, speed, translational and rotational movements.
