Abstract

This paper presents a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) platform for designers to navigate and construct 3D model intuitively through Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs). We suggest that 3D geometry can be inspected and modified in real-time through manipulating physical tokens on horizontal and vertical projected referential planes. A semi-transparent tablet as vertical display can be dynamically placed on the horizontal projected plane that triggers displaying spatially-contiguous 3D section images of the 3D CAD model. Our approach explores the spatially-aware tangible interface that couples the fragmented viewpoints with physical constraints to enhance the visual and spatial qualities of 3D representation to CAD designers.

Spatially aware tangible display interaction in a tabletop environment
ITS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfaces

One limiting factor of digital tabletops is that interaction is usually restricted to a single 2D surface. I propose to extend this interaction space to the 3D space above the table by using spatially aware handheld displays. Utilizing the spatial ...
Tangible 3D tabletops: combining tangible tabletop interaction and 3D projection
NordiCHI '12: Proceedings of the 7th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Making Sense Through Design

In this paper we present the tangible 3D tabletop and discuss the design potential of this novel interface. The tangible 3D tabletop combines tangible tabletop interaction with 3D projection in such a way that the tangible objects may be augmented with ...
Embodied metaphors in tangible interaction design

For centuries, learning and development has been supported by physical activity and manipulating physical objects. With the introduction of embedded technologies, opportunities for employing tangible or embodied interaction for learning and development ...
