Abstract
The increasing influences of interaction technologies like Augmented Reality(AR) and Virtual Reality(VR) has brought about about the high demand of 3D shape design and bi-manual user input devices with more degree-of-freedom (DOF). However, because alternative solutions are either slow and tedious (one hand mouse interface) or require more expensive gear and delicate set-up (such as Polyhemus, Leap Motion, Oculus VR gear, etc.), this research focused on using 2 inexpensive, off-the-shelf mice with a scroll wheel each, to develop a 6 DOF control system that could benefit animators of 3D digital movies, architects and engineers who rely on CAD tools and CAD vendors. With such 2 mice framework, we propose 2 different strategies, symmetrical and asymmetrical, to improve both popularity and usability of two hands operating in 3D virtual environment.
