Interaction Design for 3D User Interfaces: The World of Modern Input Devices for Research, Applications, and Game Development

by Francisco R. Ortega, Fatemeh Abyarjoo, Armando Barreto, Naphtali Rishe, Malek Adjouadi

Overview

This book addresses the new interaction modalities that are becoming possible with new devices by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective. It deals with modern input devices and user interaction and design covering in-depth theory, advanced topics for noise reduction using Kalman Filters, a case study, and multiple chapters showing hands-on approaches to relevant technology, including modern devices such as the Leap-Motion, Xbox One Kinect, inertial measurement units, and multi-touch technology. It also discusses theories behind interaction and navigation, past and current techniques, and practical topics about input devices.

About the Author

Francisco R. Ortega, PhD, is a postdoctorate research fellow at Florida International University, Miami, where he received his PhD in computer science. He is the current director of the Open Human-Interface Device Laboratory at Florida International University (http://openhid.com). He was a member of the Digital Signal Processing Laboratory at FIU, and has over 17 years of experience in software development and systems integration. His interests are in 3D user interfaces, input devices, human-computer interaction, 3D navigation, and input modeling, among other interests. He has multiple publications in journals, lecture notes, and conference proceedings.

Fatemeh Abyarjoo, PhD, received her PhD in Electrical engineering from Florida International University, Miami, where she was also a research assistant in the Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, focusing on sensor fusion for human motion tracking. She is currently a Fraud Risk Data Scientist, focusing on financial data analyzing. Her research interests are data mining, data analysis, statistical modeling, sensor fusion and wearable devices. She is a former Open Science Data Cloud PIRE National Science Foundation Fellow.

Armando Barreto, PhD, is a faculty member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Florida International University, Miami, as well as the director of FIU's Digital Signal Processing Laboratory. He earned his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville. His work has focused on applying DSP techniques to the facilitation of human-computer interactions, particularly for the benefit of individuals with disabilities. He has developed human-computer interfaces based on the processing of signals and has developed a system that adds spatialized sounds to the icons in a computer interface to facilitate access by individuals with "low vision." He is a senior member of the Institute of E
