We evaluated hand-based and widget-based manipulation methods as well as different multimodal cues for 3D manipulation and system-control tasks. Our study compared the manipulation methods in terms of performance, accuracy, and user acceptance. We found that free-hand manipulation is faster and preferred by the participants. We also analyzed the influence of the multimodal cues, finding valuable insights to integrate these cues to improve the user experience and accuracy in a 3D manipulation task.en3D interactionwidgetsfreehand interactionhand trackingText/Conference Paper10.1145/3340764.3340791
