ABSTRACT
Tangible interfaces have the potential to support learning for non-expert users, ease 3D navigation, and foster collaboration. We developed two physical devices aimed at school children for navigating a 3D virtual model of the human body. Results from a 40-subject user study suggest that these devices can encourage collaboration and improve the learnability of a navigational interface.

3D Freehand Gestural Navigation for Interactive Public Displays
Users increasingly expect more-interactive experiences with public displays for applications including learning, gaming, urban visualization, and planning. However, user interaction with applications on public displays is challenging and often doesn't ...
New design and comparative analysis of smartwatch metaphor-based hand gestures for 3D navigation in mobile virtual reality
With the advent of various mobile VR HMDs, they have been widely used in different applications by providing a higher degree of immersion. However, in particular, due to limited input interfaces such as a click button and an inertial sensor in most ...
Evaluation of the users' behavior as they navigate in a 3D environment collaboratively using large displays
IHC '12: Proceedings of the 11th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing SystemsA large amount of information has been generated and manipulated in an increasing scale in recent years. One solution for viewing so much information was provided by large displays. However, with the increase of the screens came problems in the user-...
