For instance, docking a virtual object involves 6 DoF (position and orientation). Multi-touch surfaces are good candidates as input devices for those interactions: they provide a direct manipulation where each finger contact on the table controls 2 DoF. This leads to a theoretical upper bound of 10 DoF for a single-handed interaction.\r\n\r\nWith a new hand parameterization, we investigate the number of DoF that one hand can effectively control on a multi-touch surface. A first experiment shows that the dominant hand is able to perform movements that can be parameterized by 4 to 6 DoF, and no more (i.e., at most 3 fingers can be controlled independently). Through another experiment, we analyze how gestures and tasks are associated, which enable us to discover some principles for designing 3D interactions on tabletop.", "authors": { "1": { "first_name": "Rémi", "last_name": "Brouet" }, "2": { "first_name": "Renaud", "last_name": "Blanch" }, "3": { "first_name": "Marie-Paule", "last_name": "Cani" } }, "year": 2013, "uri": "http://iihm.imag.fr/publication/BBC13a/", "pages": "297-314", "bibtype": "inproceedings", "id": 622, "abbr": "BBC13a", "address": "Cape Town, South Africa", "date": "2013-09-02", "document": "http://iihm.imag.fr/publs/2013/Interact13-understanding_hand_DoF-brouet.pdf", "type": "Conférences internationales de large diffusion avec comité de lecture sur texte complet", "booktitle": "Proceedings of the 14th IFIP TC13 Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (Interact 2013)" }]);
