Researchers have come up with a way to turn cursors into a tool that can navigate around 3D space. Conventional pointers that are controlled with a trackpad and show up as a tiny arrow on a screen ...

The users simply sweep the 3D cursors through. "For the manipulations of objects, the users can use gestures and movements such as pinching and orientation," Dorta noted.

Researchers at the University of Montreal have developed techniques that enable computer cursors to interact in 3D in single or multiuser, local or remote collaboration scenarios. The system is ...

In other words, the tablets act as 3D cursors. Your finger can slide through various objects and select them or you can draw right into the scene.

Researchers from the University of Montreal have developed a method for computer cursors to operate and interact in 3D environments, opening up design opportunities in several fields. The technology, ...

Researchers at the University of Montreal have developed techniques that enable computer cursors to interact in 3D in single or multiuser, local or remote collaboration scenarios. The system, unveiled ...

Taking one more step forward in the age of 3D, scientists have now developed techniques that enable computer cursors to interact in 3D in single or multiuser, local or remote collaboration scenarios.

He added that 3D cursors could open up new possibilities in the world of computing. For one, application windows won't need to "stack" or hide on top of each other on a screen because the cursor ...
