Abstract :
This paper describes a new three-dimensional pointing device that uses tactile sensors. This device senses the pattern of the user´s fingers touching the device surface and determines the number, positions, and pressures of the contact points. The motion commands for manipulating the object are interpreted from this information. The results of experimentally evaluating the performance of this device are reported, and some 3D pointing methods using this device are suggested
