“…Some studies allowed the user to select 3D virtual objects using 3D selection volume. For example, Schmidt et al [16] used a frustum and Ohnishi et al [17] and Haan et al [18] used a cuboid. Another technique enables the user to select multiple objects in more detail.…”

In this study, we implemented a stable and intuitive detach method named "Touch & Detach" for 3D complex virtual objects. In typical modeling software, parts of a complex 3D object are grouped for efficient operation, and ungrouped for observing or manipulating a part in detail. Our method uses elastic metaphors to prevent incorrect operations and to improve the operational feel and responsiveness. In addition, our method can represent the connection and its strength between the parts by simulating a virtual elastic band connecting the parts. It helps users to understand the relationship between the parts of a complex virtual object. This paper presents the details of our proposed method and user study.

This paper presents the results of a series of three experiments carried out to evaluate the speed and accuracy of target acquisition tasks using visual, auditory, or tactile feedback modalities. Ten participants conducted a series of 1-D and 2-D pointing tasks using a pen-based input device and either visual, audio or tactile (vibratory) feedback. Fitts' Law was used to analyze the results. Overall, participants generally performed better with tactile displays than auditory displays, and were able to perform 1-D pointing tasks with auditory and tactile displays nearly as well as with visual displays. However, pointing in 2-D is significantly slower and more error-prone with non-visual displays.

“…Oakley et al [17] found in 2000 that, with a haptic interface, task errors were significantly reduced and subjective workload measurements showed that participants perceived many aspects of workload to be significantly less with haptics. In 2002, De Haan et al [4] found that without an appropriate feedback it is difficult to freely probe data in 3D space. Forces which are used to influence actions in some way, separately to simulating collisions with surfaces, are often termed 'haptic constraints' or 'virtual fixtures'.…”

We measure the performance improvement that force feedback can provide in a virtual environment, through three experiments with, and without the assistance of haptic guidance. Performance measurements were undertaken with haptic, visual and auditory feedback alternatives. The first task investigated the use of haptic guidance mimicking reality, in the form of a simulated touchable surface of an object. The second investigated haptic guidance which waxed and waned as the user violated program rules by varying amounts. The third experiment investigated whether this latter artificial guidance would inhibit the user's free will by taking control out of their hands. The results showed that a significant improvement in both accuracy and speed was achieved by the introduction of haptics in all experiments. It also found that the haptic guidance did not take control away from the user and that they had significantly more control than with conventional warning methods. These experiments were not aimed at learning, or retention of skill, but on using haptics as an aid to improve performance during a task.
