Abstract

The boundaries between 'the digital' and our everyday physical world are dissolving as we develop more physical ways of interacting with computing. This forum presents some of the topics discussed in the colorful multidisciplinary field of tangible and embodied interaction. Eva Hornecker, Editor

Effective manipulation of virtual objects within arm's reach
VR '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE Virtual Reality Conference

We present a study that compares finger-based direct interaction to controller-based ray interaction in a CAVE as well as in head-mounted displays. We focus on interaction tasks within reach of the users' arms and hands and explore various feedback ...
Touching floating objects in projection-based virtual reality environments
EGVE - JVRC'10: Proceedings of the 16th Eurographics conference on Virtual Environments & Second Joint Virtual Reality

Touch-sensitive screens enable natural interaction without any instrumentation and support tangible feedback on the touch surface. In particular multi-touch interaction has proven its usability for 2D tasks, but the challenges to exploit these ...
Manipulating Tabletop Objects to Interactively Query a Database
CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present a prototype for a Tangible User Interface designed for interactive data visualization, which we believe will be useful for facilitating collaborative work in data analytics. Our hybrid system combines a tabletop graspable user interface with ...
