Abstract

Compared to most other virtual environments, the Responsive Workbench(TM) offers a much better integration of the virtual and the real worlds. The Responsive Workbench(TM) is a projection-based virtual environment with one horizontal table-sized projection plane. However, interacting with these mixed 3D worlds remains a research challenge. This paper introduces a prop-like device, the Virtual Palette and describes the Virtual Remote Control Panel (VRCP), a two-handed interaction technique, based on the Virtual Palette, for controlling applications.CR Categories and Subject Descriptors: I.3.7 [Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism]: Virtual Reality, I.3.1 [Hardware architecture]: Three-dimensional displays, I.3.6 [Methodology and Techniques]: Interaction techniques.
