ABSTRACT
Previous research has shown that rotation and orientation of items plays three major roles during collaboration: comprehension, coordination and communication. Based on these roles of orientation and advice from kinesiology research, we have designed the Rotate'N Translate (RNT) interaction mechanism, which provides integrated control of rotation and translation using only a single touch-point for input. We present an empirical evaluation comparing RNT to a common rotation mechanism that separates control of rotation and translation. Results of this study indicate RNT is more efficient than the separate mechanism and better supports the comprehension, coordination and communication roles of orientation.

How people use orientation on tables: comprehension, coordination and communication
GROUP '03: Proceedings of the 2003 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group WorkIn order to support co-located collaboration, many researchers are now investigating how to effectively augment tabletops with electronic displays. As far back as 1988, orientation was recognized as a significant human factor issue that must be ...
Rotation and translation invariants of Gaussian-Hermite moments
Geometric moment invariants are widely used in many fields of image analysis and pattern recognition since their first introduction by Hu in 1962. A few years ago, Flusser has proved how to find the independent and complete set of geometric moment ...
Visualizing quaternion rotation
Quaternions play a vital role in the representation of rotations in computer graphics, primarily for animation and user interfaces. Unfortunately, quaternion rotation is often left as an advanced topic in computer graphics education due to difficulties ...
