The three-dimensional aerial image interface (3DAII) is a system for aerially projecting various 3D objects. The projected objects can be viewed from multiple directions without the use of special devices, such as eyeglasses (i.e. AR), gas or vapor for projection...etc. This research aims to reproduce 3D objects that can be touched and rotated interactively, as if on a freely spinning platform. The previous system only allowed positional movement of objects based on finger gestures. However, positional (but non-rotational) movement functionality alone is not enough to reproduce a true sensation of interacting with an object. In this paper, we added a function to rotate a given object and a function to transform it (e.g. squeezing by fingers). As a result, it was confirmed that this addition provided a more realistic interaction than the previous function.
