Abstract

This paper addresses challenges created by physical objects that occlude screen contents on interactive tabletops. We propose novel techniques to support awareness, access and overview of occluded digital objects. These techniques take into account different functional zones on tabletops to provide information at varying levels of detail. We also contribute the PressView technique, a pressure-based interaction technique to get a quick overview of occluded objects.

A case study of object and occlusion management on the eLabBench, a mixed physical/digital tabletop
ITS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfaces

We investigate how users managed physical and digital objects during the longitudinal field deployment of a tabletop in a biology laboratory. Based on the analysis of 15 hours of video logs, we detail the objects used, their presence, use and ...
Novel interaction techniques using touch-sensitive tangibles in tabletop environments
ITS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfaces

In this work, we propose techniques for interaction that use a touch-sensitive tangible to assist 3D manipulation in tabletop applications. The objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness and user satisfaction with this combination ...
3D Tabletop AR: A Comparison of Mid-Air, Touch and Touch+Mid-Air Interaction
AVI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces

This paper contributes a first comparative study of three techniques for selecting 3D objects anchored to the table in tabletop Augmented Reality (AR). The impetus for this study is that touch interaction makes more sense when the targeted objects are ...
