“…Berge et al . [BDR15] proposed a classification for this specific manipulation technique that uses a common smartphone as a smart object to interact with a VE. The classification is based on three categories: around the smartphone (ASP), with the smartphone (WSP) and on the smartphone (OSP).…”

Interactions within virtual environments often require manipulating 3D virtual objects. To this end, researchers have endeavoured to find efficient solutions using either traditional input devices or focusing on different input modalities, such as touch and mid‐air gestures. Different virtual environments and diverse input modalities present specific issues to control object position, orientation and scaling: traditional mouse input, for example, presents non‐trivial challenges because of the need to map between 2D input and 3D actions. While interactive surfaces enable more natural approaches, they still require smart mappings. Mid‐air gestures can be exploited to offer natural manipulations mimicking interactions with physical objects. However, these approaches often lack precision and control. All these issues and many others have been addressed in a large body of work. In this article, we survey the state‐of‐the‐art in 3D object manipulation, ranging from traditional desktop approaches to touch and mid‐air interfaces, to interact in diverse virtual environments. We propose a new taxonomy to better classify manipulation properties. Using our taxonomy, we discuss the techniques presented in the surveyed literature, highlighting trends, guidelines and open challenges, that can be useful both to future research and to developers of 3D user interfaces.

Recent technological advances in immersive devices open up many opportunities for users to visualize data in their environments. However, current interactive solutions fail at providing a convenient approach to manipulate such complex immersive visualizations. In this article, we present a new approach to interact in these environments, that we call On-Body Tangible interaction (OBT): using the body to physically support the manipulation of an input device. The use of the body to support the interaction allows the user to move in his environment and avoid the inherent fatigue of mid-air interactions. In this paper, we explore the use of a rolling device, which fits well on-body interaction thanks to its form factor and offers enough degrees of freedom (DoF) for data manipulation. We first propose a new design space for OBT interactions, and specifically on the forearm. Then we validate the feasibility of such an approach through an experiment aimed at establishing the range, stability and comfort of gestures performed with the device on the forearm. Our results reveal that on-body tangible interaction on the forearm is stable and offers multiple DoFs with little fatigue. We illustrate the benefits of our approach through sample applications where OBT interactions are used to select and execute space-time cube operations.

Multi-touch interaction with spreadsheets on tablets is tedious and raises multiple interaction issues. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of novel interaction techniques relying on the usage of an always-available device, the smartphone, to improve interaction with spreadsheets on tablets. The smartphone can be used as an additional screen, allowing to display more information or as a tangible interactor, thus extending the tactile interaction vocabulary through stacking gestures. Our techniques aim to facilitate the creation of pivot tables, a common task in data analysis on spreadsheets. We evaluate our stacking techniques against the tactile interactions provided by mobile spreadsheet apps. Our studies reveal that some of our interaction techniques are 23.1% faster than tactile for creating pivot tables. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Interaction techniques KEYWORDS Interaction technique; Tablet; Smartphone RÉSUMÉ L'interaction multi-touch avec des tableurs sur tablette soulève de nombreuses problématiques d'interaction. Dans cet article, nous présentons la conception et l'évaluation de nouvelles techniques d'interaction basées sur l'utilisation d'un dispositif courant, le smartphone, afin de faciliter l'interaction avec les tableurs sur tablette. Le smartphone peut être utilisé comme écran additionnel, permettant l'affichage d'une plus grande quantité d'informations ou comme interacteur tangible, étendant ainsi le vocabulaire d'interaction tactile au travers de gestes de stacking. Nous essayons en particulier de simplifier la création de tableaux croisés dynamiques, tâche classique de l'analyse de données sur tableur. Nous comparons nos techniques à l'interaction tactile classique proposée par les tableurs. Nos résultats montrent que certaines de nos techniques d'interaction sont 23.1% plus rapides que le tactile pour la création de tableaux croisés dynamiques.
