Poster: Shake menus: Towards activation and placement techniques for prop-based 3D graphical menus

Abstract

Shake menus are a novel method for activating, displaying, and selecting options presented relative to a tangible object or manipulator in a 3D user interface. They provide ready-to-hand interaction, including facile selection and placement of objects. We present the technique, several alternative methods for presenting shake menus (world-referenced, display-referenced, and object-referenced), and an evaluation of menu placement.
