SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION USING A TWO-HANDED INTERFACE

摘要

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for navigating and analyzing portions of a three-dimensional virtual environment using a two-handed interface. Methods for operating a Volumetric Selection Object (VSO) to select elements of the environment are provided, as well as operations for adjusting the user's position, orientation and scale. Efficient and ergonomic methods for quickly acquiring and positioning, orienting, and scaling the VSO are provided. Various uses of the VSO, such as augmenting a primary dataset with data from a secondary dataset are also provided.

主权项

1. A method for positioning, reorienting, and scaling a visual selection object (VSO) within a three-dimensional scene, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of snap functionality activation at a first timepoint; determining a vector between a first and a second cursor; determining an attachment point on the first cursor; determining a translation and rotation of the first cursor; and translate and rotate the VSO to be aligned with the first cursor such that: a first face of the VSO is adjacent to the attachment point of the first cursor; and the VSO is aligned relative to the vector, wherein the method is implemented on one or more computer systems.
