Distance-Aware Bimanual Interaction for Large High-Resolution Displays

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 359))

Abstract

Large high-resolution displays allow users to perceive the global context of information from a distance and to explore detailed information at close-up range. This enables the user to interact with displayed content at various distances. In this paper we introduce bimanual interaction techniques that enable users to manipulate virtual content with the suitable accuracy. The separated-cursors technique differentiates between the manipulation tasks while the connected-cursors technique allows performing the manipulation tasks simultaneously. We consider three relative mapping methods which map the physical hand motion to relative virtual object motion depending on the user–display distance (interaction scaling). Mapping is based on a continuous distance-related mapping factor or predefined mapping factors. We evaluated the separated-cursors technique with and without interaction scaling. The explorative study indicates that a distance-related continuous mapping factor performs better than predefined mapping factors. Furthermore, the participants often needed fewer object selections to sort objects with interaction scaling.
