Abstract

We study interaction combination performed using a tabletop device, a mouse, and/or a six Degrees Of Freedom(DOF) input device in a systemcombining a 2Dflat (map-kind) view presented horizontally and a 3D perspective vertical view of the same virtual environment. The design of such a 2D/3D interface relies on the RVDT model and its design space that allow easy high-level combined interactions to achieve spatial tasks. RVDT integrates the relations between physical and numerical DOFs and applies to any graphical user interface in which multiple views, multiple display surfaces and multiple input devices are combined. The user study shows that experimented users prefer table-top/6DOF input device interaction combination with a maximal number of elementary tasks performed with both devices.
