Tracking-based interaction for object creation in mobile augmented reality
Wolfgang Hürst, Joris Dekker · 2013
In this work, we evaluate the feasibility of tracking-based interaction using a mobile phone's or tablet's camera in order to create and edit 3D objects in augmented reality applications. We present a feasibility study investigating if and how gestures made with your finger can be used to create such objects. A revised interface design is evaluated in a user study with 24 subjects that reveals a high usability and entertainment value, but also identifies issues such as ergonomic discomfort and imprecise input for complex tasks. Hence, our results suggest huge potential for this type of interaction in the entertainment, edutainment, and leisure domain, but limited usefulness for serious applications.
