Comments on: Multi-touch interfaces for 3d modeling http://www.blender3darchitect.com/2009/08/multi-touch-interfaces-for-3d-modeling/ Using Blender 3D for Architectural Visualization Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:06:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dietrich Bollmann http://www.blender3darchitect.com/2009/08/multi-touch-interfaces-for-3d-modeling/comment-page-1/#comment-6352 Dietrich Bollmann Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:32:44 +0000 http://www.blender3darchitect.com/?p=595#comment-6352 Isn't a multi-touch interface in some sense just an enhanced mouse? I see it as another supplemental mode of interaction with the computer rather than a substitute for the existing modes. In general I think that the manipulation of objects in the computer will become more and more similar to the ways we interact with objects in the "physical" world. In the same time I expect that there will be new, even more abstract ways of interaction also. Depending on the problem sometimes more "physical", sometimes more abstract interactions are more adequate. For most kinds of music composition for instance for sure an abstract representation is more adequate; for creating violin sounds on the other side the violin as interface probably will always remain the best mean of interaction.

Just for a selection, it's so cool. You are not limited to a rectangle horizontal, you can make a selection polygonal just with your fingers. And I think too a co-using is better for all user.
