Mobile interaction and Peak overlay (similar to peak finder) modes (BSc Thesis)

[adam-ce]

This project is about improving the interaction and navigation methods on mobile devices.

Smartphones have rotation and acceleration sensors. These could be leveraged to create novel interaction strategies, for instance double tapping could teleport the operator into that position, switching to a photo sphere like interaction strategy. We currently have do have a multi touch interface, but it uses at most 2 fingers, and it's not completely intuitive. Some improvements could be made there.

Additionally, implementing a peak overlay, similar to Peakfinder would be super cool. Peak finder is an app to overlay a labelled silhouette over an active camera view. Since we have the geometry, and labels, we should be able to do something similar.
