Android Controller

Jeanne Wang

Objective

Create an intuitive and novel approach to a tablet based multi-touch and sensor-enabled controller for a real-time 3D visualization on a 2D platform. Using camera pose information relative to a 3D model displayed on a screen, we can display virtual camera shots in the 3D model space on the tablet.

Tips

• Tip: An easy way to add import packages to your project is to press Ctrl-Shift-O (Cmd-Shift-O, on Mac). This is an Eclipse shortcut that identifies missing packages based on your code and adds them for you.
