HoloLeap: Towards efficient 3D object manipulation on light field displays

Paper in proceeding, 2014

We present HoloLeap, which uses a Leap Motion controller for 3D model manipulation on a light field display (LFD). Like autostereo displays, LFDs support glasses-free 3D viewing. Unlike autostereo displays, LFDs automatically accommodate multiple viewpoints without the need of additional tracking equipment. We describe a gesture-based object manipulation that enables manipulation of 3D objects with 7DOFs by leveraging natural and familiar gestures. We provide an overview of research questions aimed at optimizing gestural input on light field displays.
