Interaction Design for 3D User Interfaces: The World of Modern Input Devices for Research, Applications, and Game Development

In this new era of computing, where the iPhone, iPad, Xbox Kinect, and similar devices have changed the way to interact with computers, many questions have risen about how modern input devices can be used for a more intuitive user interaction. Interaction Design for 3D User Interfaces: The World of Modern Input Devices for Research, Applications, and Game Development addresses this paradigm shift by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective.

The book is divided into four parts:

• Theory of input devices and user interfaces, with an emphasis on multi-touch interaction
• Advanced topics on reducing noise on input devices using Kalman Filters
• A collection of hands-on approaches that allows the reader to gain experience with some devices
• A case study examining speech as input

Most of the chapters contain exercises that provide practical experience to enhance knowledge of the material in the related chapter. With its hands-on approach and the affordability of the required hardware, this book is an excellent flexible resource for both the novice and the expert in 3D user input device development. Researchers and practitioners will gain a much deeper understanding about user input devices and user interfaces. Game developers and software designers will find new techniques to improve their products by adding intuitive user interaction mechanisms to their games and applications. In addition to the resources provided in the book, its companion website, http: //3DInputBook.com, provides additional resources, which include: additional exercises and project ideas, additional chapters, source code, and class instructors' resources. The additional resources are provided to keep helping you with new research and new technology as it becomes available to help you stay up to date.

在這個新的計算時代中，iPhone、iPad、Xbox Kinect等設備已經改變了與電腦互動的方式，因此引發了許多關於如何使用現代輸入設備進行更直觀用戶互動的問題。《3D用戶界面的互動設計：研究、應用和遊戲開發的現代輸入設備世界》從輸入的角度來看待用戶界面，以應對這種範式轉變。

該書分為四個部分：

- 輸入設備和用戶界面的理論，重點介紹多點觸控互動
- 使用卡爾曼濾波器減少輸入設備噪音的高級主題
- 一系列實踐方法，讓讀者能夠獲得對某些設備的實際經驗
- 以語音作為輸入的案例研究

大部分章節都包含練習題，提供實際經驗，以增強對相關章節內容的理解。這本書以其實踐性的方法和所需硬體的可負擔性，是3D用戶輸入設備開發的初學者和專家的優秀靈活資源。研究人員和從業人員將更深入地了解用戶輸入設備和用戶界面。遊戲開發人員和軟體設計師將通過為他們的遊戲和應用程序添加直觀的用戶互動機制，找到改進產品的新技術。除了書中提供的資源外，其附帶網站http://3DInputBook.com還提供其他資源，包括：額外的練習和項目想法、額外的章節、源代碼和課堂教師資源。這些額外資源旨在幫助您跟上新的研究和新的技術，以保持最新狀態。
