Abstract :
Compared to most other virtual environments, the Responsive WorkbenchTM offers a much better integration of the virtual and the real worlds. The Responsive WorkbenchTM is a projection-based virtual environment with one horizontal table-sized projection plane. However interacting with these mixed 3D worlds remains a research challenge. This paper introduces a prop-like device, the virtual palette and describes the virtual remote control panel (VRCP), a two-handed interaction technique, based on the Virtual Palette, for controlling applications
