Zusammenfassung
In recent years visualization of and interaction with 3D data have
become more and more popular and widespread due to the require-
ments of numerous application areas. Two-dimensional desktop
systems are often limited in cases where natural and intuitive in-
terfaces are desired. Sophisticated 3D user interfaces, as they are
provided by virtual reality (VR) systems consisting of stereoscopic
projection and tracked input devices, are rarely adopted by ordi-
nary users or even by experts. Since most applications dealing
with 3D data still use traditional 2D GUIs, current user interface
designs lack adequate efficiency. Multi-touch interaction has re-
ceived considerable attention in the last few years, in particular for
non-immersive, natural 2D interaction. Interactive multi-touch sur-
faces even support three degrees of freedom in terms of 2D position
on the surface and varying levels of pressure. Since multi-touch in-
terfaces represent a good trade-off between intuitive, constrained
interaction on a touch surface providing tangible feedback, and un-
restricted natural interaction without any instrumentation, they have
the potential to form the fundaments of the next generation 2D and
3D user interfaces. Indeed, stereoscopic display of 3D data pro-
vides an additional depth cue, but until now challenges and limita-
tions for multi-touch interaction in this context have not been con-
sidered. In this paper we present new multi-touch paradigms that
combine traditional 2D interaction performed in monoscopic mode
with 3D interaction and stereoscopic projection, which we refer to
as interscopic multi-touch surfaces (iMUTS).
