Description
Book SynopsisIn this new era of computing, where the iPhone, iPad, Xbox Kinect, and similar devices have changed the way to interact with computers, many questions have risen about how modern input devices can be used for a more intuitive user interaction. Interaction Design for 3D User Interfaces: The World of Modern Input Devices for Research, Applications, and Game Development addresses this paradigm shift by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective.
The book is divided into four parts:
- Theory of input devices and user interfaces, with an emphasis on multi-touch interaction
- Advanced topics on reducing noise on input devices using Kalman Filters
- A collection of hands-on approaches that allows the reader to gain experience with some devices
- A case study examining speech as input
Most of the chapters contain exercises that provide practical experience to enhance knowledge of the material in the related chapter. With its hand
