A framework for 3D visualisation and manipulation in an immersive space using an untethered bimanual gestural interface

Published: 10 November 2004 Publication History

Abstract

Immersive Environments offer users the experience of being submerged in a virtual space, effectively transcending the boundary between the real and virtual world. We present a framework for visualization and manipulation of 3D virtual environments in which users need not resort to the awkward command vocabulary of traditional keyboard-and-mouse interaction. We have adapted the transparent toolglass paradigm as a gestural interface widget for a spatially immersive environment. To serve that purpose, we have implemented a bimanual gesture interpreter to recognize and translate a user's actions into commands for control of these widgets. In order to satisfy a primary design goal of keeping the user completely untethered, we use purely video-based tracking techniques.
