Note on Tangible Interaction Using Paper Models for AR-Based Design Evaluation

抄録

Using paper models is very attractive for tangible user interaction in an augmented reality (AR) environment. In this paper, we propose an approach to tangible interaction using paper models, which is available at very low cost without hardwire connections, and accessible without restriction on location. For tangible interaction, we facilitate product- and ring-types of paper models which are all fabricated by paper crafting. The approach has been tested and applied in virtual design evaluation of digital handheld products. We found that the approach is accurate enough to be applied to the design evaluation process and tangible enough to provide a pseudo feeling of manipulating virtual products with human hands.
