Abstract :
This technique lets users manipulate 3D objects as if they had actually grabbed them. It employs a grabbing metaphor to provide the mapping protocol for finding the desired reference frame for the object. The technique projects the user´s hand into the virtual environment; a virtual-handle avatar provides feedback.
