Multi-touch interaction techniques to control 3D objects on a smartphone screen

Abstract

In this paper we describe two new multi-touch interaction techniques. Both of them cover the six degrees of freedom and focus on one-handed touch-based approach. The first one (2F/3F) uses two and three finger gestures, the second one (1F/2F) one and two finger simple gestures. We conducted a series of user study tests. The main result is that the intuitiveness and comfort of 1F/2F is 91 % (against 2F/3F with 76 %) which is better than previously published results of other authors with less than 83 % of relevancy and easiness.
