A multi-touch alignment guide for interactive displays

Published: 07 November 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Precise alignment of graphical objects and creating proper layouts is crucial in many domains, such as graphic design or graph editing. In this paper we are presenting a multi-touch alignment guide for interactive displays. It allows adjusting the alignment and spacing of graphical objects by multi-touch input and bimanual interaction.
