Designing dynamic multi-touch interaction for games with realistic physics-based animation

Abstract

As touch devices become more and more popular, touch interaction has become a popular study area. In this research, our purpose is to study touch interaction and create an interaction that is able to bring realistic physics-based animation applications. In order to achieve this, a study was conducted on the touch device ability, then an interaction set was designed based on the founded abilities. After that. the usefulness of the interaction was evaluated by a user study. The study showed that the proposed 2Fingers (2F) interaction set has advantages compared to the simple 1Finger (1F) interaction set in a specific context. Nevertheless, the interaction set still has certain disadvantages compared that need to be addressed. In the future, this study result can be used as a reference to develop other touch interactions in a realistic environment.
