Exam 3 Review Flashcards
Define: Pseudo haptics
Visually simulate the effects a virtual force would have on a real object
How was pseudo-haptics implemented?
Implemented by visually decoupling a virtual clone from the position and orientation of the real object
What were the findings in the pseudo-haptics study?
Found that pseudo-haptics afford the ability to recognize which objects are lighter and heavier
Found that the just-noticeable difference between two weights increases with the reference mass
What was done in the embodied interactions study?
Developed a user interface for visually programming dance moves with building blocks
How could users view their programmed moves in the embodied interaction study?
Through an HMD
What were the findings of the embodied interaction study?
This was found to increase awareness that computer scientists write code and can develop movies, games, and animations
What did the virtual grasping study investigate?
Investigated direct and indirect visual feedback techniques
What were the direct interaction techniques used in the virtual grasping study?
- Outer hand
- Inner hand
- See-through
- 2-Hand
What were the indirect interaction techniques used in the virtual grasping study?
- Finger color
- Object color
- Arrow
- Vibration
What were the findings for the virtual grasping study?
Found the Outer Hand to be subjectively realistic but the worst performer
Found the Inner Hand to be subjectively bad but one of the best performers
What technique should you use when both subjectivity and performance are important?
2-Hand
What was the mid-air interactions study?
Compared four mid-air interactions and a touch-based interaction
Name this mid-air interaction technique:
The middle point of both hands is used to manipulate the object, reacting as if the user was holding a bar placed across the object. The distance between both hands scales the object.
Handle-Bar
Name this mid-air interaction technique:
The hand that grabs the object directly controls its translation and rotation. The distance between both grabbed hands scales the object.
6-DOF
Name this mid-air interaction technique:
The hand that grabs the object directly controls its translation. The rotations of the other hand define the object orientation. The distance between both hands scales the object.
3-DOF
Name this mid-air interaction technique:
The middle point of both hands is used to manipulate the object, reacting as if the user was holding a bar placed across the object. The distance between both hands scales the object.
Handle-bar
Name this mid-air interaction technique:
One touch bellow the object enables widget visibility and moves the object. A second touch outside the widgets apply the TRS algorithm (translation and yaw rotation). The widgets offer height manipulation, roll and pitch rotations.
Touch TRS + Widget
Name this mid-air interaction technique:
The first hand grabs and moves the object. The movement of the second hand relatively to the first defines rotation and scale transformations.
Air TRS
What were the findings of the mid-air interactions study?
Found the Handle-Bar to be best for translation tasks not requiring rotations
Found the 6-DOF and HandleBar to be best for tasks requiring translations and rotations
What did the hybrid interactions study investigate first?
Investigated hybrid interactions for transitioning between 2D and 3D interfaces
What were the findings for the hybrid interactions first study?
Found that it takes longer to comfortably transition
from a 2D view to a 3D view than vice versa
What did the hybrid interactions study investigate 2nd?
Investigated a hybrid interaction of using mouse for
selections and 3D tracker for manipulations
What were the findings for the 2nd hybrid interactions study?
Found that the hybrid technique was overall faster than the 3D tracker alone
What was the primary reason found for the hybrid interaction being faster?
It was faster at selections
Define: Indirect touch
The input surface is decoupled from the output display
What did the indirect interactions investigate first?
First, compared Indirect4 to DS3 (direct) and Triangle Cursor (direct)
What were the findings in the first indirect interactions study?
Found Indirect4 performed comparably to DS3
What did the indirect interactions study investigate second?
Second, compared Indirect6 to DS3 (direct) and Surface6 (direct)
