Bimanual task division preferences for volume selection

Published:05 November 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

Using both hands for 3D interaction allows users to transfer ingrained interaction skills, significantly increase performance on certain tasks, and reduce training [Bowman et al. 2005]. Guiard's framework of Bimanual manipulation states that different classes of bimanual actions exist [1997]. The Bimanual Asymmetric classification consists of both hands, performing different actions, coordinated to accomplish the same task. The Bimanual Symmetric classification involves each hand performing identical actions, either synchronously or asynchronously. Latulipe et al. compared a symmetric, dual-mouse technique for manipulation of spline curves, to two asymmetric dual-mouse techniques and a standard single-mouse technique. The symmetric technique performed best and was most preferred by participants [2006].
