Abstract(in English) We propose a 3D selection method with multiple multi-touch touchpads. Our method uses an asymmetric bi-manual technique to define a 3D region which in the best case requires only a single action. The technique also supports other typical manipulations, such as object and camera translation and rotation. We employ two touchpads, each recognizing input from up to two fingers, and all actions can be executed while the user is resting his arms on the table, reducing fatigue caused when interacting with multi-touch displays. Our proposed method is compared with a double mouse system. Subjects interacting with the touchpads were able to select certain objects quicker than the double mouse system. The touchpad method was also favored by subjects in terms of intuitiveness and mental stress during the task.
