3D Selection Vault

Two-Corners

Also known as TC

Symmetric two-handed box selection: each hand holds one opposite corner of the box, so both hands position, rotate and size it together.

How it works

One corner of a 3D selection box is attached to each hand, and both hands together control its position, orientation and size. It was the most accurate of the three techniques in the study but caused more fatigue. All three techniques shape a 3D selection box with two tracked handheld devices; everything inside the box is selected with the SELECT button. Designed for splat-based volumetric data on a desktop monitor.
