Multitouch and pen interaction for 3D configuration of virtual yachts at trade fairs
Annika Möser, Thomas Reufer, Chris Geiger · 2011
We consider the use of natural interaction techniques like multi-touch and pen-based interaction in the context of virtual product presentation. We developed a 3D configurator for sailing ships to be exhibited at trade fairs. After configuration on a multi-touch table with pen support the results can be presented on a large wall screen and interactively operated in action at a virtual seaside. We exhibited this work at the world's largest trade fair for yachting and water sports in 2011 and a national scientific conference on virtual reality and complex system design. The feedback results validated our approach to provide only few interactions possibilities within a constrained range.
