“…Touch screens are now the de-facto standard for handheld devices, supporting multi-touch interfaces for 2D gestures such as pinch or swipe, while low-cost solutions for touchless interaction, such as the Kinect or Leap Motion, even support 3D whole-body interaction interfaces [11,28]. These interaction interfaces have inspired a range of applications within interactive visualization [8,16,25,27].…”

Abstract-In this position paper we discuss the usage of various interaction technologies with focus on the presentations of 3D visualizations involving a presenter and an audience. While an interaction technique is commonly evaluated from a user perspective, we want to shift the focus from a sole analysis of the naturalness and the ease-of-use for the user, to focus on how expressive and understandable the interaction technique is when witnessed by the audience. The interaction process itself can be considered to be a communication channel and a more expressive interaction technique might make it easier for the audience to comprehend the presentation. Thus, while some natural interaction techniques for interactive visualization are easy to perform by the presenter, they may be less beneficial when interacting with the visualization in front of (and for) an audience. Our observations indicate that the suitability of an interaction technique as a communication channel is highly dependent on the setting in which the interaction takes place. Therefore, we analyze different presentation scenarios in an exemplary fashion and discuss how beneficial and comprehensive the involved techniques are for the audience. We argue that interaction techniques complement the visualization in an interactive presentation scenario as they also serve as an important communication channel, and should therefore also be observed from an audience perspective rather than exclusively a user perspective.

“…37 Two papers discussed inertial-type sensors attached to the users' bodies to capture gesture input. Jalaliniya et al 22 stated that advantages of such a system were that the system did not require a direct line of sight for the user and that it would allow only a designated person (the wearer of the sensor) to interact with the system. Bigdelou et al 21 discussed the hardware issues of inertial orientation sensor-based systems, highlighting issues such as noise and drift.…”

The widespread use of technology in hospitals and the difficulty of sterilising computer controls has increased opportunities for the spread of pathogens. This leads to an interest in touchless user interfaces for computer systems. We present a review of touchless interaction with computer equipment in the hospital environment, based on a systematic search of the literature. Sterility provides an implied theme and motivation for the field as a whole, but other advantages, such as hands-busy settings, are also proposed. Overcoming hardware restrictions has been a major theme, but in recent research, technical difficulties have receded. Image navigation is the most frequently considered task and the operating room the most frequently considered environment. Gestures have been implemented for input, system and content control. Most of the studies found have small sample sizes and focus on feasibility, acceptability or gesture-recognition accuracy. We conclude this article with an agenda for future work.

“…User's hand gestures are sensed by Kinect, and then mapped to corresponding virtual object manipulation operations. For the purpose of sterility restrictions in surgical setting, Jalaliniya et al [8] present a system based on a single wristband sensor and capacitive floor sensors. The system allows users to implement touchless interaction with medical images by using both hand and foot gestures.…”

Touchless interaction has received considerable attention in recent years with benefit of removing the burden of physical contact. To achieve mid-air interaction, several strategies are available. However, since most of these techniques directly map the 2D WIMP GUI to 3D user interface, they lead unnatural result. In this paper, interaction gestures and tools for exploring volume dataset are designed to perform the similar tasks in the real world. We mainly employ the idea of focus + context based on GPU volume raycasting by trapezoid-shaped transfer function when designing interaction tools. User studies are conducted to demonstrate the usability and intuitiveness of our method. The experimental results show a significant advantage in completion time after a short period of training.
