Abstract: This article presents a new natural user interface to control and manipulate a 3D animation using the Kinect. The researchers design a number of gestures that allow the user to play, pause, forward, rewind, scale, and rotate the 3D animation. They also implement a cursor-based traditional interface and compare it with the natural user interface. Both interfaces are extensively evaluated via a user study in terms of both the usability and user experience. Through both quantitative and the qualitative evaluation, they show that a gesture-based natural user interface is a preferred method to control a 3D animation compared to a cursor-based interface. The natural user interface not only proved to be more efficient but resulted in a more engaging and enjoyable user experience.
