Projects
In the following research projects are presented that a related to the Touch3D SIG.
Instinct - Touch-based interfaces for Interaction with 3D Content
Creating and evaluating interaction paradigms and models for stereoscopic projection surfaces is the goal of this research project.
iMUTS - Interscopic Multi-Touch Surfaces
The InSTInCT project focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of new simple and efficient touch-based interfaces, with the goal of bringing widespread visibility to new generations of interactive 3D applications, aimed in particular at general public audiences.
Lumino and Multitoe are projects that extend the interaction space beyond the display with building blocks and feet interactive floors.
Gravity + Multitouch = 3D tracking
1) Tangible Magic Lenses for 3D Information Spaces
To solve the challenge of exploring large information spaces on interactive surfaces such as tabletops, optically tracked, lightweight, passive displays (tangible magic lenses) can be used that provide elegant three-dimensional exploration of rich datasets, e.g. 3D volumetric data.

2) Natural Interaction Techniques for 3D Virtual Environments
This project investigates several ways of interacting with (remote) 3D virtual environments, e.g. by using digital paper and pens, touch & tilt on mobiles phones or gaze-supported interaction.
