motivation• To develop an To develop an
interaction framework interaction framework based on whole-hand based on whole-hand interaction with surfacesinteraction with surfaces
• Users find system intuitive to controlUsers find system intuitive to control
• Whole-hand interaction very suited for taskWhole-hand interaction very suited for task
• Physical surface facilitates repeatable actions Physical surface facilitates repeatable actions (spatial location)(spatial location)
• Coarse obstruction representation not a big issueCoarse obstruction representation not a big issue
contributions• Demonstrates an application of whole-hand Demonstrates an application of whole-hand
interaction with a surfaceinteraction with a surface
