“…We include this offset in all our systems. However, in our prior experimental work [6] and in our formative evaluation of the HyFinBall interface, we found that while keeping elbows resting on a surface reduces fatigue compared to the naïve 'arm's outstretched' approach, this interface is still more fatiguing than using a mouse. With a mouse, the hand--not just the elbow--rests on a surface.…”

“…But the HyFinBall interface uses multiple buttons and is two-handed following Shaw and Green [8]. (We use these button balls in XXXXX et al [6] but that system does not contain any of the HyFinBall hybrid UI concepts). As a general purpose input device for desktop VR applications, we follow the above authors and promote using a pair of generic shaped devices that remain in the user's hands for relatively long durations to minimize device acquisition time penalties.…”

“…As described in 3.1, the selection box is used to select points on the 3D terrain. In details, the selection box creation is a combination of the two-handed technique of Ulinski et al [6] and a 3D widget [11]. When the right HyFinBall is placed on the desk, the 3D cursor is replaced by a transparent, 2D orange disc that remains at zero screen parallax.…”

“…Form Factor The third author and colleagues used dual, small form-factor (4.5 cm) button balls for multiple experiments [6] [57] in volume selection. In these experiments, we observe the typical adult participant switched between a more static grasp and a looser grasp.…”

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This paper presents the concept, working prototype and design space of a two-handed, hybrid spatial user interface for desktop VR targeted at users where a minimally immersive, desktop VR system is appropriate. The user interface supports dual button balls (6DOF isotonic controllers with multiple buttons) which automatically switch between 6DOF mode (xyz + roll,pitch,yaw), and planar-3DOF mode (xy + yaw) upon contacting the desktop. The mode switch automatically switches a button ball's visual representation between a 3D cursor and a mouse-like 2D REPORT DATE (DD-MM-YYYY)4. TITLE AND SUBTITLE 13.

UU SPONSORING/MONITORING AGENCY NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)6 ABSTRACTThis paper presents the concept, working prototype and design space of a two-handed, hybrid spatial user interface for desktop VR targeted at users where a minimally immersive, desktop VR system is appropriate. The user interface supports dual button balls (6DOF isotonic controllers with multiple buttons) which automatically switch between 6DOF mode (xyz + roll,pitch,yaw), and planar-3DOF mode (xy + yaw) upon contacting the desktop. The mode switch automatically switches a button ball's visual representation between a 3D cursor and a mouse-like 2D cursor while also switching the available user interaction techniques (ITs) between 3D and 2D IT's. Further, the small form factor of the button ball allows the user to engage in 2D multi-touch or 3D gestures without releasing and re-acquiring the device. We call the device and hybrid interface the HyFinBall interface which is an abbreviation for 'Hybrid Finger Ball.' We describe the user interface (hardware and software), the design space, as well as preliminary results of a formal user study. This is done in the context of a rich, visual analytics interface containing coordinated views with 2D and 3D visualizations and interactions.
