Pick-and-Drop: A Direct Manipulation Technique for Multiple Computer Environments

by Jun Rekimoto
"... This paper proposes a new field of user interfaces called multi-computer direct manipulation and presents a pen-based direct manipulation technique that can be used for data transfer between different computers as well as within the same computer. The proposed Pick-and-Drop allows a user to pick up ..."

Direct Manipulation of Free-Form Deformations

by William M Hsu, John F. Hughes, Henry Kaufman - Computer Graphics , 1992
"... Free-form deformation (FFD) is a powerful modeling tool, but controlling the shape of an object under complex deformations is often difficult. The interface to FFD in most conventional systems simply represents the underlying mathematics directly; users describe deformations by manipulating control ..."

Integrating Constraints and Direct Manipulation

by Michael Gleicher - In Proceedings of the 1992 Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics , 1992
"... In this paper, we present techniques for integrating constraint and direct manipulation approaches to geometric modeling. Direct manipulation positioning techniques are augmented to provide the option of making the relationships they establish persistent. Differential constraint techniques are used ..."

Video Browsing by Direct Manipulation

by Pierre Dragicevic, Gonzalo Ramos, Jacobo Bibliowicz, Derek Nowrouzezahrai, Ravin Balakrishnan, Karan Singh
"... We present a method for browsing videos by directly dragging their content. This method brings the benefits of direct manipulation to an activity typically mediated by widgets. We support this new type of interactivity by: 1) automatically extracting motion data from videos; and 2) a new technique c ..."

guage, Direct Manipulation

by Philip R. Cohen, Mary Dalrymple, Douglas B. Moran, Fernando C. N. Pereira , 1989
"... This paper shows how the integration of natural language with direct manipulation produces a multimodal interface that overcomes limitations of these techniques when used separately. Natu-ral language helps direct manipulation in being able to specify objects and actions by descrip-tion, while direc ..."

The Go-Go Interaction Technique: Non-linear Mapping for Direct Manipulation in VR

by Ivan Poupyrev , Mark Billinghurst, Suzanne Weghorst, Tadao Ichikawa , 1996
"... The Go-Go immersive interaction technique uses the metaphor of interactively growing the user's arm and non-linear mapping for reaching and manipulating distant objects. Unlike others, our technique allows for seamless direct manipulation of both nearby objects and those at a distance. ..."

Direct Manipulation of Feature Models

by Rafael Bidarra, Alex Noort, Daniel Lourenço, Pedro Oliveira - in Web-Based Collaborative Design”, Design Engineering Technical Conferences , 2004
"... Abstract: In current commercial feature modelling systems, support for direct manipulation of features is not commonly available. As a result, re-designing is time-consuming due to the inefficient feedback, the insight given is rather poor, and user interaction often lacks intuitiveness. This is par ..."
