Finger-based Gestural Interaction for Exploration of 3D Heart Visualization

Interaction with medical visualization is one of attractive research topics in human computer interaction and medical visualization. Controlling the volume visualization for 3D heart is one of the useful applications for clinician to produce an efficient ways on analysing the behaviour of heart. In this paper, we use some scenarios to develop a gesture control system using finger gesture to give more natural way to interact with the 3D cardiac model besides helping to reduce user cognition in using the system. We had proposed several gesture techniques that only require the user to move their finger in interacting with model. This paper also will focus on how to interacting with the cardiac model with finger gestures and advantages of using finger gestures in helping the diagnosis part besides having several drawbacks that can be solved in the future.
