  • Abstract
    Given small screen sizes, navigation in large data on mobile devices often becomes a problem. In this paper, we present different interfaces for pen-based navigation in VR (virtual reality) panoramic images on cell phones with touch-sensitive displays. Four different solutions have been implemented and evaluated in an initial user study. Our designs offer users advanced navigation functionality thus increasing usability and making VR panoramas on mobile devices more useful.
