Two-handed direct manipulation on the responsive workbench
Open accessAbstract
We have built a systemthatallows usersto naturallymanipulatevirtual 3D models with both hands on the Responsive Workbench, a tabletop VR device.Our design is largely based upon Guiard's observations of how humans distribute work between the two hands in the real world.We show how to apply these principles for the workbench environment and describe many issues encountered during the design.We first develop a framework for two-handed interaction and then explore a variety of two-handed 3D tools and interactive techniques.Related issues include how constraints are implemented and controlled by the two hands and how transitions between one-handedand two-handed tasks occur seernlessly.Informal observations of the system in practice show that users can perform navigation and manipulation tasks easily and with little training using the two-handed environment.One of our interesting findings was that users often performed two-handed manipulations by combining two otherwise independent one-handed tools in a synergistic fashion.In these cases, we did not program two-handed behaviors explicitly into the system; instead they emerged naturally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
